    Done with Teamviewer. First, they screw up the interface with a horrible revision, and now they are saying I am commercial use. I ONLY use it to connect to my home PC from my beachhouse.

    Goodbye forever Teamviewer. I am removing it from my 2 PC's and phone and will find something more like what Teamviewer USED to be.

    Hello, the program has been detecting a fake commercial license for days, inhibiting the use. I have the free version used to connect with the pc at home, can you check? Thank you

    Hallo, same issues here. I've sent a request for reset my account for free license use but received only the answer, that I should fulfill and sign off a declaration, which can not be downloaded. Anyone does succeeded to find the asking declaration?

    TV kicks me out after about 1-2 mins then displays the message in the subject.

    It just started doing this last night, didn't do this about 3 weeks ago when I used it

    I don't use it for commercial use in any way, in fact only support by 3 brothers, nothing else

    The SW says it's the free version

    I submitted a ticket to TV to reset my account from Commercial to personal or am I missing something else?

    Thanks, Rick

    I only use team viewer to log on to my imac, my wifes pc and my parents computer.

    It recently said that it detected commercial usage and blocked me,

    so i followed the reset procedure with all of my id's


    But its still kicking me after 4 mins and 1min cool down on my wifes laptop.

    And my account still says its free.

    Is it time to scrap teamviewer and move over to **Third Party Product**?

    It's obvious this problem has been ongoing for YEARS (since 2020 at least, but maybe beyond), will it ever get corrected? I've completed and submitted "the form" more than a few times the past few days and the only message I've seen is a thank you for submitting. Nothing further, zilch, nada.

    I have reset my commercial usage 5 times in the past couple of weeks.

    Every time I connect from my android phone... It's commercial usage.


    Any ideas? It's very frustrating.

    While I was able to have my free personal-use Teamviewer (TVW) license restored, the family users that I connect to simply don't have the capability to jump through the hoop of keeping their licenses free. They are not computer-savvy and thus the entire reason for my use of Teamviewer in the first place.

    As a long-term user of TVW, I didn't appreciate the accusation of my using the software for business. Never have. Not in 15 years. User data would have supported that, had it been looked at. Instead, I'm accused, curtailed, and denied access, in return for 15 years of honest use and a LOT of word-of-mouth recommendations.

    The approach Teamviewer took on license enforcement has allowed me to fall through the crack as a customer. I can't get my users free-licensed and I can't afford a professional license for family matters. Today, I've shifted to **Third Party Product**.

    I constantly get "Suspected commercial usage" notification on my account, i've reset it 5 maybe 6 times and it pops up pretty much instantly. It says "Free version on the software" any assistance would be brillant as it cuts me off during support with family.

    Probably never. At least I am waiting now for almost a week for an answer.

    Maybe they are now aware of the issie and try to have it fixed, or TeamViewer forgets all the loyal private users giving good reviews and make other commercial persons buy a TeamViewer License

    After several years of using TeamViewer when I travel to visit my son, grandchildren, on vacation, etc., suddenly they decided I was using it for commercial use. I have been retired for years. I tried to tell them I wasn't using for commercial use. They send an email with a link to form to fill out. Unfortunately, the link was a bad link that is not reachable.

    I have tried several times from the website, by email, by phone etc. to reach someone to get this resolved. I GET NO RESPONSE.

    I would consider paying for it if the price was reasonable. But to use a few times I year when I travel to access my home computer to get at my emails, pay some bills, etc.?

    Any way to get in touch with TeamViewer?

    I have had this once before and that thing was fixed within a day.

    This time I am waiting for a correct responce now for almost a week.

    I moved to **Third Party Product** although I prefer the TeamViewer way of working more.

    But when it does not work, it does not work and then finito TeamViewer 😝

    I have the same problem. The worst is that there is no way to contact TeamViewer and explain this. I just went to app store and gave 1 star review. It seemed like that's what I could do only.

    I am only trying to help my family, but TV states that I am using it for commercial purposes, and limitates to around 1mn of use per session... how do I get out of that?

    Looks like a lot of people are encountering the same problem. TeamViewer doesn't seem to be in a hurry to fix it.

    So I legit use TV for family computer management. My parents are in their 60's and they don't do technology well. So I have been using TV for the last couple of years as I am not close to them to drive over and take care of things. So today, I have to help my mom with her FB password and I get the notification I am doing commercial use stuff and will have to spend 50 bucks a year to continue to maintain my family's computers.. **bleep**.. I am not paying for that so what is the deal here?

    Hi all

    It seems that TeamViewer is tired of letting us, small users that are trying to help family members, use it without paying for software.

    I say ok cool we'll use **Third Party Product**, at least it works for more then 5 mins

    JM

    PS: it was working great then they said "here is an upgrade go ahead and use it" now I'm stuck with the commercial use screen when I try to connect to friends or family. Not cool, really not cool.

    UPDATES: I have reset all applicable IDs (not account) 5 times in the last week. Any time I connect from an android phone... Commercial suspected. No idea what to do. Does anyone know why, even after resetting, it gets flagged again straight away?

    Today I had an answer from TeamViewer.

    Yehhh, they did reset my ID, thank you TeamViewer!

    It seems to be important that you enter ALL ID's (up to 10) you need to work with TeamViewer.

    Ij your ID has been reset, but the ID of the PC you contact with is still known as commercial user you still will get the message "commercial usage"


    Stay hopefull and describe clear and honest what you do.

    But remember that TeamViewer uses a tool to check what you do and can get confused again.

    Also contacting home and office PC's or using it for a non profit company will be noted as Commercial usage.

    That is written in their explanation

    Hello. I have a free license for private use. I only use it to help 2 elderly people with their computer - updates and more. Lately I find that I get a timeout very quickly. How can I fix it so I don't get kicked off all the time.
