    Hello

Why can't I use Teamviewer? I help my mother who is 88 years old and 4-5 friends via Teamviewer. Would never charge to help them.

    I can't connect my IOS device (ipad 9th generation) to my windows 11 laptop

    when I try to connect on my ipad it shows an error message which says that the connection is blocked, even though I have never connected to the laptop not even once.

    The only use I make of TV is to support a friend from my machine. I was getting "commercial use suspected" and other similar comments, so I reset my account, and I do seem to have a free licence. I got an email from TV confirming that my ID was reset. I understand that the problem is with her machine, where it also needs resetting. The TeamViewer ID of her machine is [removed per Community Guidelines]. I have a couple of questions relating to that.


    1. Does the reset request for her machine have to come from that machine or is the TeamViewer ID all that is needed, so that I can send the request from my machine.
    2. If I can send a reset request from my machine, I don't see how to do it. I have followed the links to reset, but after the "click here to start" instead of the page to enter information I just get the message "your request was submitted successfully" which presumably refers to my previous request. I thought emptying the cache might help, but it did not. This is using Safari on Mac OS Ventura.

    Hi.

    I have installed Teamviewer on my aunt's computer several years ago, and use it very rarely to help her with computer issues, since I live quite far away. She is 82 and not very computer literate.

    But the last 2-3 times I tried to connect, it auto disconnects me after ~1 minute with the message:

    It seems there might be a licensing problem with your connection partner. Connecting to this device requires a valid Teamviewer license for you or your connection partner.

    and then I cannot reconnect for several minutes:

    Connection blocked after timeout. Your licence limits the maximum session duraton to a partner, immediate reconnects are blocked. Please try later or upgrade your license. Connections to this partner will be blocked until 15:24


    Is it not allowed to connect to family members with free accounts anymore?

    On question (How are you using TeamViewer?) i answer very short: "Personal", it is correct answer? Or you require longer answer? I dont know where i repair it.

    Thanks for help.

    I have been using Team Viewer for a couple of years as a help ministry to the elderly members and pastor at my church. I am not receiving any dollar compensation for this. The last couple of months ago I am being kicked out saying it looks like I am using this for money. Many of my members are homebound and I provide a help for them. Most of the time I am not on the system more than 30 minutes or so.. What do I need to do to correct this issues.

    Hi everyone,

    i notices a mistake in the form i submitted when requesting the reset of my teamviewer ID for personal use. I contacted TeamViewer and they suggested that i should just fill it out again. That although is not possible, since a message pops up saying “thank you, your request was submitted successfully. Please download the generated PDF for your records”. So basically I can’t fill the form out once again and submit it. Hence, i don’t know how to get my ID reset.

    Did anyone have the same problem or could someone help me solve it please?


    Thank you!

    Hi

    when I go into my Sisters Computer to help her Teamviewer constantly cuts me off. I just recently sent a letter about the Comercially suspected and I believe I had my Sisters tewmviewer ID in that Lettet a well. I only use Teamviewer for personal use . Unfortunatly my Sister is 83 year and she need all the help she can get. So I am using Teamwiever very regular to help her. Can you please help me and tell me why it is doing this just about every time I go into her computer. I sure would appreciate the help. Thank you for your help in advance. Her Teamviewer ID is: [removed per Community Guidelines]

    Sincerely

    I used to have a paid license for TeamViewer for my use supporting a local clinic. They were paying for it and it was under my account.

    I no longer do support for them, and they don't pay for TeamViewer any longer... but now I'm still getting prompted that I'm a commercial user.

    I've already called in, been told the problem was resolved... then submitted the form and got the email back telling me the problem is resolved... but I still get connection refused when trying to connect via TeamViewer to my Raspberry Pi's to control my telescope equipment.

    Any suggestions... I did submit the only ID I use now... guess I probably should also get the one off the Surface Book that I used to use. So do I just need to telephone support, which they say is for paying customers only?

    I have been blocked on my iPhone from accessing my home computer for over a year. I had requested my ID be fixed when my Home computer ID was blocked too. What do i need to do to get my phone ID unblocked?

    Hello, I use TV non-commercially but was recently limited. I appealed with the ID Oof the computer i was connecting to, and it was approved. However, I was still limited (session times out after a few mins & cooldown on reconnect). So when I go to fill out the form again, I sign in, and it says "Thank you for submitting, please download a PDF for your records" etc. However, I didn't get to fill it out, and the PDF is the old form submitted last week. I tried multiple browsers, computers, Incognito, etc. Any suggestions? Thank you!

    I'm having a similar issue. I submitted a reset and it was approved, but I was still limited. When I go to re-fill it out, it says exactly the same as yours...Tried different browsers and devices. Did you get this resolved?

    I am accessing my home computer from an iPad while travelling. both the home computer and iPad have updated versions of Team Viewer. I am using my device for non commercial use.However my iPad times out after 1 minutes. I have applied for and be granted a reset using the id on my iPad. But I am still getting kicked out after one minute. What else can I do?

    Hello,

    Some of my devices were recently mistakenly flagged as commercial use. I sent a reset form which was successfully handled yesterday - but in my haste, I forgot to enter my mobile's Teamviewer ID in the form and it is still flagged as commercial use.

    When I go to the reset page, I can't submit a new form, it just gives me the link to download the PDF for the previous form which was already processed. How long does it take before I can submit a new form?

    Thank you.

    Teamviewer thinks I'm using their services for commercial use....  the fact is that I'm always connecting my tablet to my PC for personal uses! What should I do in this situation?

    Are you supposed to get a confirmation email when you submit the Unrestrict Me form?

    I've had to submit it 3 times now, and I never get a confirmation.

    I also never get any notice when they process the form and unrestrict me. I just have to keep trying to log in every day and hoping....

    I'm disconnected - business usage suspected.

    Got my TeamViewer ID reactivated fill in form.

    I feel thast personal details required for Teamviewer Pdf form are violating my privacy rights. I don't understand how anyone offering free service needs my name. Probably I might enter a false name but I don't feel it's a fair play. IP address with name is very serious security flaw.

    If Teamviewer team understands this, then I don't understand why they need to take this enormous responsibility to keep this data safe?

    Now I'm searching some other private solution, easy to use also for older people.

    $32 per month for helping family members, thank you.

    How do I use Teamviewer?

    Per year I use Teamviewer 10-30 times max. Sometimes due to Teamviewer suspicions there may be 2-3 connections required per session.

    90% I'm attempting to help elderly family members with whom I share Microsoft Office 365 and Norton 360 5 user licenses - which unfortunately too often throw family member out of family licenses. Licenses and re-activation is distributed by Email.

    Rest 10 % as IT experienced some friend may call and ask if Email they have received is safe to open against viruses. Then I kindly have asked them to download Teamviewer as first step to be able to reply.

    Therefore most often remote session starts with opening remote Outlook.

    Now it looks like connecting to remote PC and opening Outlook in other computer is considered automatically as business??????

    And now someone collects names and IP addresses for what purpose?

    Whenever I use it to help a friend or a family member.

    It's basically my only usage of it.

    How to avoid?

    If it's wrong, then it must be a bug, right? It's supposed to be correct.
