Commercial use - Connection time out
Comments
-
Well that's just rich isn't it. I only have one 2 in 1 that I keep in the vehicle. Would be nice if they sent an email before blocking you. Seeing several posts here from today this is the first problem I've had in more than a year using the same laptop. I guess it's time to look for another product if they treat people like this...even if it's just free use I'm still a potential paying customer this stinks.

So, I was able to chat with sales briefly earlier, and they sent me a link to fill out a form. I explained on the form that although my email address has the word "computer" in it, that I closed my business a year ago and now work for a non-profit. I still "support" family computers, as I'm a nice guy and most of them live too far away from me to drive to fix issues. Now, I sit and wait for them to decide if they're going to change my status from "Commercial/Personal" to just plain "Personal". If they were to look at my log today, they'd see me logging in every 30 minutes or so, for the 2 or 3 minutes that they leave me connected, just to respond to messages....How long does it take for a decision to be made and the status changed??

someone mentioned it may be limited to the device not the account how about sending an email first and not just unceremoniously cutting us off. I connect to my home pc(s) and check my security cameras that's all I do I guess it's time to look at a competitor that treats people better. Sad I really like team viewer but this is **bleep** and then to tell me it might take a month to get around to unblocking me? Oh **bleep** no.0

From that other thread, it would appear at least a few days for the ban to be lifted. I'd suggest grabbing another PC to access your other devices in the mean time as a work around as mentioned earlier.

That's good advice assuming you have another laptop to use. I'm here not at home with only this laptop and now getting told it might take a month to get around to unblocking me....no sorry, you see something you don't like send me an email first don't just unceremoniously dump me with no question first. no this is wrong, at this point even if they unblock me I think I'm done with teamviewer.0

Unfortuanly they don't care anymore about people. The same happened to me. I have 3 kids and wife to support, but can't pay money everymonth. So have to swith to the different product. Good job team!! Hope you will going down in few months. Thank you for work at list for 2 years.

The reason I said that is, I'm able to grab another PC from my network and access the other devices just fine. So it seems for whatever reason, only one of the PC on the network if affected by this issue. And I've only submitted the log file for this PC.
And for everyone who's affected by this, in the mean time, try another PC to access your other devices in the mean time as a workaround.
Interesting. I used my bare couple of minutes on my home machine to test the connection from there to my mother's and that seems to have the same problem. Ditto my husband's. I haven't tested all of them (half a doz, not all on line) but it seemed like the group was blocked rather than just one machine.
For those upthread saying we should pay - I've suggested a domestic licence to TeamViewer in the past and got no response. I would be quite happy to pay for modest support fee however the entry price to TV is absurd for supporting half a dozen family machines with occasional connections.

Scrue you and your team, if I'll find the way help my family with out you, I'll tell all my friends how to do it.

I have the same issue and it is VERY frustrating.

I just started getting the exact same thing. I support my sisters and brother-in-laws computers. Have for years. I'm hoping something is just **bleep** up on their end.

This is interesting from an Aussie colleague (who like me uses TV to fix family machines when travelling for work).No rollover, monthly sign up needed, doesn't define a session for these purposes (eg is a session any continuous connection however long? Is there a max amount of data you could transfer?). Maybe the new owners simply don't feel they are getting enough money and rather than offer some form of domestic licence want families to buy into business support monthly sub. It isn't offered in my geography but I'm not sure I trust TV just now.0

hy guys!
since the last updates of the, free for personal use, software, there are always messages about alleged commercial use and connection breaks to the partner! i have many devices and thus many ids to the same mail account! must i seriously send for each id a personal use request? for me, the teamviewer software is currently unusable and the windows 10 teamviewer app does not have all the features like the software!bg

Thanks, Hopefully they'll fix TV and that won't become necessary as my sisters and brothers in laws aren't the sharpest tacks in the box and walking them through another install would be painful. But I'll look into it just in case!

I am having the same problem also. I found on their website that the free version will no longer be free if you have windows product. I called and I was asked are you going to buy anything, I said no, He says then I am not going to help you and he hung up. Wonderful customer service. I have uninstalled and installed and still does not work. They are recording IP addresses is why.

I am receiving the message "COMMERCIAL USE DETECTED" and then the session is limited to only 5 minutes, without the ability to re-connect without a delay. I am using Teamviewer on a personal computer and I do not own a business. Whatever method Teamviewer is using to "detect" commercial usage is obviously flawed.

I am getting the same issue. Only happens when I use my gaming rig.

TeamViewer had a security problem that was fixed.

Still waiting for them to investigate the commercial accusation issue.0 -
With as much as this thread has blown up, I can only imagine there's some issue with the algorithm that causes non-commercial users to be seen as false-positives. Or TeamViewer is truly cracking down. Let's hope it's the former and not the latter.
If I connect to my home computer from work to do personal stuff, does that count as me using the product for commercial use? Should it? I'm using the product to work on my personal computer, even though I'm on company resources.

As long as the problem persists and from what the reported reactions are, I wouldn't set my hopes too high.
They achieved their goal of removing 80% of TeamViewer users, I'd say.2 -
I had been using Teamviewer to connect to my home computer (or wife's when she's having trouble) from work. Because I have no input into what RDP method my company uses, I can't even suggest any software. Besides, it's my company policy to not allow us to connect to our home computers. Anyhow, a few weeks ago I started getting messages saying "suspected business use" or something to that effect. Since it wasn't true, I would simply click through. Of course, there is no challenge since TeamViewer's knowledge is absolute. Today I started timing out after a minute. It appears to be time to move away from TeamViewer and find another better remote.

Pretty sure it's the later. Bye, bye TV.

I don´t know why you don´t understand what ive written
It clearly says fee license but iam still not able to make use of it because the connection gets terminated after a few minutes

Good boy.
That's what they wanted.1 -
I've swapped to [edited by moderator]. It's free and has worked really well in the last few weeks.

Oh look, the tyrants censored me. I'll let them do it again... dwservice is who I've started migrating too. I never thought I'd say this, but I'd rather do business with comcast instead of these losers.
