  • Every computer I have under All Devices seem to get limited session time when I try to connect. It does not seem to matter which device I try to remote connect to. I've submitted a reset account request a while ago and have not gotten a response. The new console also says I have 15/3 next to All Devices. Not sure how to correct that. Need help

  • I am not using any managed computers for making money or connecting to a work/business domain. I do have a couple personal "servers" that are for my personal home use only and are not joined to a domain (They just run Windows Server OS) . They are for test purposes only

    I have repeatedly filled out the reset management form but now find I had the wrong Teamviewer id. The problem is that when I log in to fill out the form again. All I can do is download my original PDF - how do I submit a new form? Another device has also started to say it is being used commerically and it is not? So I how can I submit new forms

    Thank you. I was using the Teamviewer for personal use. But suddenly, Teamviewer has been blocked and asking for the license purchase. I have reset the account in https://teamviewer.com/reset and generated the pdf. What are the next steps that I need to take to access the free version of Teamviewer.

    Thanks

    Hello,

    I have been using TV for years.

    Since the last Teamviewer Update, I can no longer have a longer sessions with Teamviewer in my local Network. Previously I could connect to my Laptop without any time restrictions but now after about 5 Mins. I get disconnected.


    Bask to the age-old teamviewer problem for private users yet again.

    What can I do to establish a longer session?????????

    @Teamviewer: if you are toxic to free usage then charge a small sum for private uses and have done with it.

    Hi I am with you they are a bunch of no hopers and there is no way to log a ticket as the form does not work when you get to the last thing and click on CREATE PDF and UPLOAD it goes no ware and does nothing, and you can't even log a complaint any ware, They have also locked me out saying that I am using for commercial use but I am not and there is no way to contact someone to get this matter fixed. They have also done this to the family that I am trying to help so they are deliberately forcing FREE FOR HOME USERS out.

    I have this same problem as well. It thinks it is because they think I'm are using the account for commercial purposes which is not the case. Can anyone help with this?

    For some reason TV thinks I'm using it for professional/commercial purposes, even though i use it rarely and only for personal use, it keeps disconnecting me after 1 to 5 minutes, is there any way to solve this or do i need to find an alternative software?

    Hello,

    Somehow my Account got flagged for commercial use. I only use my Account for my personal usage and mainly connect to my Laptop when I'm not Home and sometimes to a friend PC when he has Problems. Is there any way for me to get my Account unlocked? Its quite annoying to get disconnected every 5 Minutes and then need to wait 10 Minutes for the next Connection

    You said TM is free for personal use, no time limits.


    Now the recent versions are so buggy, problems like the followings get no dev supports at all.


    And version 15.41.9 is applying a 3-hour time limit for personal use.


    So TM's own word has no credibility at all, right?

    Very thoughtful, strategic move.

    I've received a display that my free license has been revoked due to suspected commercial use which is not correct. I only use the product to connect to my personal devices.

    I've tried to request a reset via these pages:

    (1) https://www.teamviewer%20%28classic%29.com/reset This page is not available

    (2) https://www.teamviewer.com/en/reset-management/ This page is available, and I've filled out the form on the page, but when I click to generate and upload a PDF, nothing happens.

    Please post a good site I can access to have the license reset.

    Thank you!

     Hello

    I have been using teamviewer for many years, helping some of my friends. I haven't had problems before, but now I get a message that I use teamviewer as a business, this is not true, I am an 80-year-old private person who helps, among other things. my grandchildren with their computers.

    Can you do something so I can use teamviewer again?

    Regards, Peter Birk

    What happened to my free account? I use it only for private purpuses.

    I have used Teamviewer for YEARS...and I don't use it commercially - just between my own computers, 1 computer that my in-laws have, and 1 computer that I help a friend with...for FREE...so I'm confused why all of the sudden it won't allow me to connect to anything.

    Lovely that I was 'warned' for this...and now I'm in a 367 page thread that may or may not provide a solution.... If I'd have found a solution I wouldn't have 'reposted' the question... My account wasn't flagged for commercial use. Ugh...the runaround...

    I finally got the reactivation page to work...only it didn't add the 2nd ID that I put in - which seems to be the one having the major issue.... If I go back to that page, it just says that my form has been submitted...that's all fine and good, but it doesn't include the ONE ID that seems to be the problem. Now what?

  • mrdjman

    Evidently, TV has labeled a bunch of us as 'commercial'....must be FB Fact-checkers getting new jobs... You have to submit a request to have your 'personal' status reinstated, but they say that if they deem you commercial again at any time...they'll limit your access...again...and again...and... I made the mistake yesterday of only submitting ONE of my IDs and it evidently only allows ONE submission per 24 hrs. I was able to add the others this morning.

    Every time someone try to connect to my computer it says: " Your TeamViewer session has timed out and will be closed.

    Why is this happening? I have the updated version.

    My 83-year-old mother occasionally needs help with her computer. Both she and her 86-year-old husband have trouble using a computer. It is necessary for me to provide them with some assistance.​​

    When I connect, Teamviewer informs me that there is a problem with her license. It throws me out within a few seconds.

    Her Team Viewer ID is [removed per Community Guidelines]. 

    My ID is [removed per Community Guidelines].

    I have contacted you before about this problem and you have fixed it before but the problem comes back.

    When I first got Teamviewer, your service claimed that it was free for non-commercial use. Both my mother and I are non-commercial use. 

    I have 3 computers, a couple of tablets, and an iPhone, so occasionally it has tried to flag me as commercial use.

    Best wishes,

    Well...the form works...and TV is pretty quick about resolving... What I don't like is the dire warning of pending doom if they so decide you're going commercial again. I would think that they can see what connects to what and how often... Just make sure you put in EVERY ID you have for any computer that you connect to or from...

    I've had the commercial use problem with TV twice. Both times it was resolved but it took over a month the first time.

    Now I have a problem because they removed the VPN capability from the free version. They say it was because of "user feedback" and "to serve our free users better" and "to make it easier and more accessible for you to connect with your friends and family remotely". I don't get that. For the people that don't need VPN, they just don't push the button. The button is still there but disabled. So not sure how this change made it any "easier and more accessible". For me it is now less accessible. I used to use it to backup some of my mother's important files to my PC in case her PC crashed. Now I can no longer do that. So less accessible and I don't feel better served.

    But it's not just TV doing this. I tried another program. I won't bother saying which one because the name will be censored. The very first time I used it, I was flagged as commercial. It said my pattern of usage showed commercial usage or something like that. How can I even have a pattern on my first use??? I did write to them and got it set back to free usage.

    Hi, is a free licence for Private users still available. I have tried connecting to a couple of PCs and get messages about the licence limiting the maximum session duration but I've not connected. I wait for new time but I get the same issue again and a later time and on it goes!

    I need a new ID# since my current one keeps telling me I am using TV commercially...

    I AM NOT. You have reset my ID several times and I still have the same problem.

    Can you send me a new ID#?
