Commercial use - Connection time out
Comments
-
It is sad to say that after many years of happily using TeamViewer for personal use, for helping friends and family with occasional IT problems and for voluntary community work where every now and again we collaborate using TV, the software has now become unusable for me as well.
I struggle with repeated popups stating suspected commercial use and time limited connections that last less than the time to connect and handshake. No they do not last 5 minutes!

At this time, I too can no longer recommend "TV".

I never own a cent with teamviewer... I did use it to access my computers. Now, their algorithms said I've cheated, as private use.
I would like to purchase the license, but the price is non sense.
Ok, no problem.

Buenos dias
Seguramente hay algún post relacionado con lo que voy a poner pero no sé ingles y me resulta muy complicado hacerme con toda la información que hay en community.
El problema es que en su día descargué la licencia gratuita para uso no comercial, valorando que se podía por los requisitos.
Desde hace algunos día me salta una ventana diciendo que han detectado que utilizo el programa para temas comerciales (que no es cierto) y que debo adquirir una licencia.
El programa lo utilizo exclusivamente para conectarme al ordenador del trabajo desde casa (trabajar con documentos, consultar correo electrónico...) o cuando estoy fuera (un viaje de trabajo) pero no saco ningún beneficio económico por ello.
Espero poder resolver este tema o en su caso, la duda, por si interpreté mal las caracterisiticas.
Gracias

Me pasa exactamente lo mismo con la aplicacion de windows. Me dice que hay uso comercial y me interrumpe todas las conexiones. Sin embrago con la aplicacion de Android no tengo ese problema.
Soy tambien un usuario particular, no obtengo benecicio economico y solo lo uso para conectarme al PC de Casa o al Portatil y a mi telefono movil y tablet para mis cosas personales.

Hi. Ever since about 1 month ago, I've had this problem with the license: whenever I try to connect with a computer (which is the only one I've ever used for remote control) a message appears telling me that I must buy a commercial license to continue using remote control, even though I only use it on two different computers at home for non-commercial purpose. Is there any way I can fix this?
I already tried unistalling and reinstalling TeamWiever on both computers and updating it to the latest version, but it didn't work.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
I do not use Teamviewer for commercial purposes but only to troubleshoot my friends or family members.
I am stuck after a few seconds.
Could you restore my connection, please?
Cordially thank you.

Update:
I received an email last night telling me that TeamViewer believe me!
(literally, thats what they said!)
So I'm back to a working personal use license again.
Bit of a blip.

I'm still waiting for my reply but even when/if I do get it, it will be too little too late.
Couldn't be without remote access so I have moved over [edited by Moderator]
. Would've happily paid TeamViewer money but they don't seem to want it. Maybe they've got enough, which would be a strange buisness model!
Teamviewer have lost out, i won't be using or recomending them again.

This is good news. Looks like they are reviewing usage manually.

Hello everyone!
I am grateful for the long time of cooperation! I was approached by a free license. It's time to part. I'll buy a similar product for six years at the price of one year of TV. Best wishes and rest in peace.1 -
There is obviously a problem with the detection system, can you fix it or disable it for now?
I have a home network and use teamviewer to connect to a Laptop to control things like iTunes and some other things. I once connected via my android phone so I could buy a UK lottery ticket from Spain.Over a week ago I had the "detected business use" popup, and by the way the "5 minutes" you say you can use is actually 1 minute, I have contacted supoort via the form and now when I look at the form it says "Be aware that due to a large number of requests from our private users, answering your request may take up to 30 days. Please bear with us."
If a large number of people are having this problem doesn't it suggest that your detection system is returning far too many false positives? I use 13.1.3629 and have done a full reinstall removing the settings.
Please fix this soon.

How long did it take between your contacting them and their reply?
I saw a reference earlier in this thread about "up to 30 days" to resolve these issues. It really feels like Teamviewer is more or less arbitrarily cutting off many of their long-time free users.
The way they are doing this, with no warning, might be giving some insight into Teamviewer's business strategy as well as their business ethics, if that's not an oxymoron. At least when **Third Party Product** did this a few years ago they had the balls to simply announce they were shutting down their free option. Maybe that's where we're headed here, but judging by the activity in this thread, the way they're doing it seems likely to be generating significant ill will toward the company. That can't be good.
Of course, it could be a glitch in their commercial-use-detection algorithm, but I wouldn't bet on it...
Owen.

why do I get a message saying that I'm using the application for commercial uses while I don't?!

This is getting very annoying! I assume they are just trying to pester to get a license purchase.

I also have the same problem

I'm suddenly getting this error as well.
I tried to connect to my son's computer to fix a driver issue and it terminated the connection after 30 seconds stating I was using the free version inside of a professional network.This is ridiculous.

Hello, I use teamviewer for many years, to help my family or some of my friends. For several months I have the message that tells me that I use teamviewer professionally, but it is not the case. I use it from my office to connect to my pc at home. Since 2 weeks I can only connect 30 seconds and after I have a message that tells me that the session will cut because the time maximum is exceeded.Evemment it asks me to move to the pro version ... I have always praised this program with my companies some of which have adopted but I begin to ask me the question of returning to **Third Party Product** because the policy of forced buying is starting to become very disturbing at teamviewer.

After waiting 33 days and then writing them an email to ask when this would be fixed, they replied to me that they had restored my personal use status. I checked it out and it's working again. One comment in the email might shed some light on this.
"Commercial use is every usage in a business environment. This means, if you use it at work or support customers and colleagues, it will be commercial usage. Therefore you are not allowed to use the free version of TeamViewer in any office environments. As soon as one of the PCs participating in a session is connected to a commercial network (office/school/etc.) it is considered commercial use"
I don't think that applies to me but I'm not 100% sure. I'm not sure how they detect if a PC is in an office or a school. Does it mean it one of the PCs is on a domain instead of a workgroup? That wouldn't necessarily mean commercial use. What if I am using it at work to check my personal email at home??? but if that's how they have redefined the word commercial then it's something to be aware of and careful about.
I notice that they censored one of my posts. So that means they are reading this forum. Would be nice if they also answered.4 -
Hy,
I am having the same problem. I use TeamViewer for managing my pc located in my other house, but now I can only connect to it for 1-2 minutes. Is there a way to use it like before, with no time limit?
Thank you.
