    Iphone 8 with QS + Iphone 8 with TV

    I get this error after pressing "remote Control" on the TV iphone.

    Can't find any solutions online. one person suggested logging in on the TV app, but I also get error code "4/5" when trying to create an account! geez!

    Thanks.

    TV used to be great. I've had a free license and never used it commercially. But now the first time I try to use it in at least 6 months, it immediately slaps a "commercial use" banner on me, disconnects, and won't reconnect. So I go find the email their support team sent me many years ago after they removed a similar block and that email comes back saying "can't email anymore, submit a ticket". So I go to submit a ticket it says "only for commercial users." WTH? Talk about a rude failure of a system I thought I could occasionally rely on.

    Is there any fix for this? I'm on vacation in new zealand, and just received an email from my local state gov healthcare department saying I have a file on their website ready to view. That site won't load for some reason, even if I use a vpn to appear to be in the usa, so I went to team viewer as the final backup to view it on my home desktop and now it's failing me. This is why I have team viewer setup in the first place. For these ultra-rare but useful moments.

    They should have warned people that the free license is now useless. I can't even use it to install a new remote desktop service because it didn't do the polite/reasonable thing and give me a 1 day timeout or something.

    Ugh. Money grubbers.

    Frustrated in NZ.

    Hallo,

    Has anyone here ever had IDs re activated after submitting the Non-commercial use signed form? Cause i am starting to believe that it's totally useless and as long as you are a free user they won't even look at it.

    Yes, I have, as have others that view this forum. That said, most of us are still not happy because if a friend or relative we try to contact has a machine id they flagged, you still won't be able to help them.

    I have submitted a request to teamviewer to make them undo the changes since they suspect I'm using teamviewer commercially. They've yet to get back at me after 2 weeks. What can I do?

    Warned? Why warned, I said nothing inappropriate? I appreciate the fact that my ID was reset/reenabled, but it was not clear to me at the time I requested the reset that I needed to include the remote machine ids. Can I resubmit the reset and add the remote ids using the link you sent, or must the remote user do it?

    Thank you.

    Hi,

    My (free) account has been incorrectly flagged for commercial use and is now almost unusable.

    How can I have my normal (free) access returned?

    Thanks

    You may need to fill it several times, with all your TV IDs because it's not guaranteed all of them will be unflagged right from the 1st time. You may notice the 2nd / 3rd time that only one TV ID is still flagged and therefore ask only for that one (it has happened to me quite recently, a couple of months ago). Eventually you get cleared.

    Like many users on the forum I am totally stuck as I have several machines that I am using team viewer for - all non commercial use and two of them that were working without a problem for years are not saying commerical use detected. These are headless raspberry pi's that I am experimenting with that are only for private use.

    I am stuck like many when I go to reset management - I am presented with the pdf I have previously filled out and have no way to contact teamviewer. I have tried to move to NO MACHINE but it is not as seamless as teamviewer, I would like to stay as I teamviewer user but with zero support it is frustrating., Is there some way I can connected with someone at TeamViewer to resolve this. Someone mentioned signing up with a different email address but I don't want to mess around with another account

    I have the same issue. When i try to "Reclaim your Free Version" i can't do that and the only thing i can do is to download my PDF file from my previous request i sent in for a couple of months.

    Why am I being treated like a commercial user when I am only accessing my home servers remotely?

    I am currently in Australia and my home machines are located in the UK. I am using TeamViewer for personal user only

    How can I resolve this?

    Hi my account is under [removed per Community Guidelines]. Recently I started getting a message say that my account is suspected of commercial use. I recently setup a VM Linux lab server and installed Host to be able to access online. I AM NOT using you software for commercial use. I only use you software for my home network to update my TV android boxes and other personal use. Thanks for reading this and please do not block my use again. Teamviewer is a great App!!! Thanks Again!!!!

    There would not be over 387 pages of the same thing. TeamViewer has again blacklisted a know computer I placed at a friends to help with the NAS setup. Not once have been able to log on to my computer.

    I believe their services are set too high and this is the second time I have been tagged as commercial use and only used the service just weeks later as a first time use.

    This makes no sense other that to bother the users and not fix any of the sub-text that is causing a problem. So I ask TeamViewer what is tripping my account? How do I fix it besides jumping through your hoops which is very ill defined?

    Hello. 387 pages of the same comments?

    I am attempting to add on another PC I have to a request to reset non-commerical status, but when I go to https://www.teamviewer.com/en-us/reset-management/ it will not let me create a new request, all I have is the option to download my previous request.

    I've tried on different browsers, on different networks, cleared my browser, and its the same no matter what. Anyone have any ideas?

    I'm using an iphone 14 Pro and the Teamviewer app.

    My dad is using an iphone XR and the Quicksupport app.

    When I open Teamviewer on my iphone and enter his ID and click "Remote Control" I get a message stating " a connection could not be established, connection blocked."

    We used to be able to successfully connect. How can I toubleshoot/fix this issue? Thanks.

    How do I get them to realize that I NEVER even came close to commercial use yet they have me in "Commercial Use Jail".

    The apparent lack of support is DEAFENING!

    Every student experienced problems while writing written papers. And I am no exception, so I often began to use the help of specialists https://www.nursingpaper.com/ On medical topics I turn only to them, they always help and the work is highly unique, and this is very important for my teachers.

    Hello,

    Since a little while, I started getting warning messages at start of teamviewer sessions.

    Says something like "pro usage suspected". I don't understand why.

    I've been using Teamviewer for years to control my computers and help my parents and sister through your tool.

    Here are some things that may trigger this warning :

    • on my home PC, I use Proton VPN so maybe I could have the same IP as user users doing the same on the same server ?
    • thanks to your web interface, I started using teamviewer to control my personnal computer at home from work (so I use my "pro" computer, but to access a personnal one and do personnal things).

    Could you tell me if one of those things is the one making my usage looks "wrong", please ?

    I'd like to keep using your incredible soft, for my personnal use only. :)


    Thanks in advance, have a nice day

    Good morning,

    For years, I've been using a free license of TeamViewer to provide support to family and friends, including their PCs, mobile devices, and so on. However, for the past few weeks, my connections have been abruptly terminated after a few seconds, with a message stating that the connection has expired due to commercial use, which is not the case.

    I'm wondering if the issue might be related to my Internet service provider using CG-NAT, where my public IP address is shared among many users. TeamViewer might be detecting multiple sessions from that IP and mistakenly identifying it as a business environment.

    I'm starting to use **Third Party Product** instead, but to be honest, I prefer TeamViewer.

    Best regards

    hi,

    I am trying to get to the reset form as the software says it has detected commercial use. however, when I go to the web page, login and press 'Click here to start', it doesnt load the form and instead only shows a previously submitted form.

    the teamviewer IDs in the form are not current so I am unable to reset the one I am currently using.

    Please help as I cant remote my friends computer anymore.

    thanks

    I use my home computer to connect to another computer of mine in another location. I was flagged as a commercial user and when filling out the required form to resolve I provided the incorrect ID. I am not able to resubmit my request as it keeps uploading the same information. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
