    Not sure why you are bleeping your own product but let me rephrase my question: has anybody ever successfully "appealed?" In my experience TeamViewer frequently issued these commercial warnings and any attempt to use the appeal process was ignored.

    Beste thing is to use either the Windows uninstaller or else use the Revo uninstaller which removes more.

    Then reboot the pc. After that, install the free version.

    Hi,

    Have been using TeamViewer for a number of years, just to support friends, and family.

    Now every time I use it, I get shut down as a business user, last time I was trying to help a partially sighted friend with some computer problems, this has been very irritating to say the least.

    If anyone knows how to resolve this, I would be extremely grateful.

    Many Thanks

    Peter

    I do work in IT so I am very familiar with what commercial use is.

    I use team viewer(TV) from my personal computer (not my work computer).
    I use it to assist my friends and family members not customers.

    I do not charge these people for "services"

    I do not us my work VPN or internet access for TV.

    I have been using TV off and on for YEARS, this has happened I think 2 times before the first time dealing with it was pretty straight forward…

    Fill out a webform and wait .. not the best.. there really should be an option to deal with this BEFORE cutting access, for something that has NOT been verified (and in my case is an error).

    I'm not sure why the system is "detecting commercial use" but it is clearly making a mistake.
    There has to be a way to address this…

    Please help.

    Can a moderator please help???

    by the way I've tried calling support several times

    they are not very helpful on on this other than trying to convince me that someone helping my friend and family is actually commercial use.. LOL

    For some reason TeamViewer just started prompting me this on one of my devices? Both devices are in my home, and the device that is causing the issue is literally connected to a pinball machine to play Pinball FX on. Is there any reason, or perhaps setting that I would have accidentally set myself that caused this? I also noticed that it has this computer set to Company Managed as well when I look at all my devices? Any assistance here would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Same issue! Called to get support (twice) and was told that there's no way to be connected to tech support …… !!!!! Heck - took me over an hour to be able to log in here. I'm so disappointed! Love the product, but not sure what happened today. Would be happy to pay for a personal usage account that doesn't break the bank!!!

    Totally agree. For as little as I use it, they should have a cheaper tier for personal use. I literally will need it about 15min at a time just to update windows, and a new Pinball games to the table, maybe once a month. II am wondering if we installed the wrong version though. Never had this happen in the 15 years I have been using TeamViewer.

    When I use Teamviewer connecting to another computer it will kick me out and say "Session timed out", and then it says "You're using Teamviewer in a commercial setting". These popups are shown in the images below. I would understand this as a mistake that I got flagged for, however at the top, it clearly states that I'm using a free license. I appreciate any help you can provide!

    I am a free license, and over the last two months, whenever I try to connect to one of my family's computers, it connects for about 10 seconds and then times out. It doesn't give me any reason for this other than something like "your session has timed out." I am not a professional, I only connect to my family's devices. I thought that was supported/authorized use? How do I use this program? I can't afford any of the paid tiers, and since I'm not a professional, I don't think I should have to. Any advice would be welcome, this is extremely frustrating, and I'm considering giving up on TeamViewer.

    Hello I am using the Teamviewer for Personal Use. I ony use it for a few minutes a day to connect to 2 personal computers on local network. I am getting a message about Commercial Use and then it shuts down the connection (this is ony after a few seconds). I have contacted Teamviewer Support about the issue but I haven't heard back. Any info on how i can resolve this issue is appreciated. Thank you.

    Hello. My account is now timing out every 30-60 seconds.

    I connect from my work computer to my home computer during the week. Most things here at work are blocked (except for TeamViewer and a handful of websites). When work is slow there are things I can do online but need my home PC to do so.

    We have no use for TV in a business setting, our corporate office has a different product on our PC's for troubleshooting etc. I ONLY use this to connect to my home PC, or to my sister in-law's PC to check her computer's health - that's it.


    There is no business being conducted. I previously had to set up an account to prevent this issue, but now that's not working. What options do I have and is there a way to contact TV to discuss other than posting here?

    Why is it constantly popping up that a commercial use has been detected. Now i am not able to long into my home pc at all. Have had this issue before and filled out the Reclaim your Free Version form and got it fixed, only to have it a couple of weeks later lock me out again.

    I filled out Reclaim your Free Version form a week ago and still no response or help.

    How can I get this issue resolved permanently and now have to have this happen over and over again?

    Went through all the steps and now my account is marked as commercial user and locked me out and after filling out the form to reinstate it, no response or solution.

    This is just not right!
