  • I have the same issue. I fill out the form then press the "Generate & Upload PDF" button and NOTHING happens. I have cleared the cache and cookies and still nothing.

    I am using Chrome Version 107.0.5304.107 (Official Build) (64-bit)

    Why do I keep getting timed out saying that I'm using as a commercial account This is incorrect

  • I have a private use account that has been incorrectly flagged for commercial use how do I get it unblocked.

  • hi , how can i change to personal use , long tome ago my computer was had a commercial use account not using it anymore how can i change to personal use, cuomputer says i must contact support please help

  • The app seems to be causing me many issues. First it would time out constantly. Preventing me from accessing family computers to help them with their issues. I don't know what changed but it was working many months ago and now it keeps saying I'm offline when I clearly am not. I am going to uninstall and try to reinstall the software but if that doesn't work, I need to talk tech support even though I have the free version. It is easier for me hands on than to read something. Please help me figure this out.

    I have been using the free version of TeamViewer for years, but a few months ago, my free version suddenly changed to the commercial version. I never use TeamViewer commercially; it is only used to assist me when I have issues with my computer and friends help me. Now, when someone tries to connect to my computer, they get an announcement that my copy of TeamViewer appears to be a commercial version and they have to upgrade to connect to me.

    I have tried repeatedly to uninstall and reinstall TeamViewer, but it always installs as a commercial version instead of the free version. I even followed the instructions on the thread below with no success.

    How do I fix this problem? It is keeping my friends from being able to assist me.

  • I think this, right here, is my issue. I used this software (free, for family only) several times when I first loaded it. Then I let it languish for over a year. Then I tried to help my elderly family member, and sent them the direct link I'd set up from within TeamViewer, so they could click, download, and give me their connection info. I promptly connected, and got disconnected and flagged.

    I used the form, pled my case, got reinstated for free mode. Connected to a daughter's computer to assist with power and storage issues. No issue.

    Elderly parent contacted me again, about 2 weeks later, and so I had the ID, tried to connect, and BAM, once again flagged for commercial. I think it's the link to TeamViewer with my name on it that did it. That "custom module" that nonetheless is a part of TeamViewer. -sigh-

    I may go to a different platform. I liked this very much and talked my last boss into trying it for their support, and they bought it. However, the nature of what we use this for - to help in time of need, not "hey maybe next week after I've been cleared AGAIN of any suspicion" makes this something where I believe either the module should be suppressed OR that particular element should be made available as noncommercial, or something.

    I will reinstall my setup and try to clear hers as well, and see where that gets me.

    I guess Teamviewer just wants to drive away "free" users.

    I got flagged for "commercial" use again after 4 years (I only help older family members)

    Now there was a window that said you have 5 minutes for this session or smth.

    Ok, I have five minutes to setup ANOTHER remote desktop solution.

    BAM, I am disconnected after ONE MINUTE (or RATHER less than a minute!) ant then cannot reconnect for at least 30 minutes.

    I don't want to be hostage to this on urgent family matters. So I'll definitely move to another solution as soon as they will restore my "free non commercial use".

    The worst is I don't know how long it will take for the HELP to respond.

    I have a problem with the application. I changed my computer and since then I can't use TW. He sends me a message saying that it is only for his own needs, and if I want commercial use, I have to pay. I have had Teamviewer for a long time and never had this problem until I changed computers. Please allow me to use as for now for my own purposes. Thanks.

  • I know about the form trying the restore things but it tells me that my TeamViewer number is not valid. I copied/paste the number from the TeamViewer screen. So it must be right. But what to do??? Thanks for reading and answering

    I am a personal user (NOT commercial). Teamviewer is blocking my access from one of my PCs to another. Teamviewer is telling me that this appears to be used for commercial purposes. Trust me. I am only using this program for personal use ONLY! Please make appropriate changes to allow me to use Teamviewer and let me know when this change is made. Thank you.

  • Why am I continually getting timed out using the free version. I use it for personal use to help my elder parents remotely. I also have it install on one of my personal computers. NO Business use!!!

    Hey, I’ve used TeamViewer personally for years with no issues, but starting in July I think, I suddenly was told that I’m using it for business and need a premium plan. I have not and never use it for business use - I just have it setup on my personal computer so I can access it remotely to check my personal Plex server and steam. How do I go about getting my account back to being able to use it?


    thanks,

    How do i get my free license back please?

    I barely use teamviewer & only ever to help my mum who has dementia & a friend with learning difficulties but have been flagged a comercial user. Am trying to fill in the reset form but keeps saying the ID ( my user ID ) i entered is invalid. I can not get through to anyone in support to talk or chat. I have wasted hours / days trying to resolve this problem and my poor old mum & my friend are in desperate need of my assistance. I am flumoxed & have no idea how to proceed this is most frustrating & time wasting. Can anyone please advise me as to how im supposed to get this going & devote myself to being the good samaritan again ????????????????

    Many Thanks

    Andrew



  • Recently when I try to connect with a friend the message I keep getting is that TV has timed out and tells me to retry in one or two minutes. When I do that it keeps timing out. All this is before I have even connected to the remote computer. Is there anyway I can extend that timer or can TV do that for me?

  • Hi I am getting kicked out of team viewer because it says I am violating terms. I only use it to connect to my PC upstairs in my apartment. Its not for any work just personal academic work.

  • I have account, which register in Canada/US, and it is work while I am in China three month ago. but now. It seems blocked by "limit of device"

    it shows me message box as

    "TeamViewer is free for personnel use on a limited number of devices. You have reached these limited devices".


    Please let me know how to solve this. I am free personnel user.

  • I try to install TeamViewer Quick Support on my sons computer.

    When I connect to his computer from my PC it seems normal.

    It seems normal, but after 1 min I got disconnected, and blocked for 1 hour.

    Why ?

    How to fix this ?

    I thought that TeamViewer for personal non-commercial use was free ?
