  • I'm also having the same problem. And this is not the first time. I already explained to support that I have few computers from my family and friends that from time to time I connect to help. They reseted it twice for now. But, recently it started to behave the same, even worse.
    I mostly connect to my two home computers.

    I've sent ticket, but no one responded. This is real stupidity.

    I am amazed at the ease of setting up this new **Third Party Product** and also the excellent customer support. Everything has been explained perfectly, and I will also terminate Team Viewer. It's just a shame that TV has chosen this route to discontinue the free part of it's software. I believe it will only make other smaller software companies jump at the chance to improve their own software, usage, and customer base. It's always been my policy in owning several businesses in the past that the customer is always right...unfortunately, today, that no longer exists in most companies. I still help those in need, especially my friends and family, and still do not charge for this service. I only hope that when I get to the point that I need help in life, there will be someone there for me, as well.

    I'm trying alternative ones now but I'm a bit puzzled. It's probably me being thick but does anyone know of others where you can set up unattended access on devices but that device can't see others on the account unless you log into the account on that device like TV?

    I used one alternative where I installed it on a device but it could see others so I clicked on the 'log out' option but it warned I would be disabling unattended access.

    In other words, when I set up unattended access on my brother's device, I don't want him able to log into any other device. Like I said, it's probably me being thick! I'm trying **Third Party Product**' and '**Third Party Product**' so far. Thanks.

  • Tried Twitter and Facebook TW support, no one responded. This is such a serious **bleep** If they do not know how to create their monitoring algorythm, they should stop until they do make it properly.

  • I am facing problem with Team viewer New versions. Since few months back, I am using this software for soporting  my familiy  and friends (no commercial use) in a mac-ios (Sierra). However, I getting message that I will have 5 min only to remote connection and it disconnects in  less that 2 minutes.

    How can I solve this problem?

    Thanking in advance for your help.

    I am pretty sure you can do that with the one that starts with **Third Party Product**. I would suggest getting in touch with one of the techs right on the web page. There isa couple ways to go with the connection...George can explain it better/

    Hi @jornin

    Thanks for your post and your question.

    Providing also your postal address is your official confirmation to us that you will not use TeamViewer commercially. As part of this, your address acts as a verification of your identity.

    We will not use this to send you letters or advertisements.

    Thanks and all the best, Esther

  • Simple answer team viewer became money hungry. Just find another app or program. Don't waste time searching for the issue. Theres other programs out there just google free remote desktop.
  • Been using Team Viewer for years. Suddenly, today, I cannot connect to my remote computers

    Message comes up 'Either your license or your partner's license is blocked'

    I setup a new team viewer account on a spare PC and cannot connect to that either. So, I assume the problem is with my PC/Team Viewer account but I do not have a clue what to do about it

    Anyone got any ideas?

  • Hello everybody,

    I have the following problem.

    I use teamviewer for private purposes.

    When I'm at work I turn on the home for my partner is the online casino for you.

    Now I have been getting the message for about a month that I use teamviewer for commercial purposes, which is not the case in this case.

    What can I do there?


    best regards

    Hi all. Here we meet again. 

    I logged in today to do some school work after having barely used TV in recent times. To my surprise I again received the popup about commercial use. I was of the understanding that my account had been marked as private as advised by TV support.

    Is the problem possibly due to the fact the program is running in the background even if I'm not using it? Thoughts?

    I use a service called No-IP. com for my dynamic domain name (ddns).  It is free for a month at a time, Every month I get a notice that my name is expiring soon and asks if I want to upgrade or continue on for another month.  This works for me.  My friend, though, found this a bother and pays the US$50 every two years. 

    Lastpass is a free service and you can pay $12/yr if you need support and/or expanded services.  I pay for this and would pay more, because Lastpass is responsive and responsible.

    Teamviewer would be wise to consider such a policies.  For example, bare bones (no file transfer, no messaging, no audio, no support) could be one level of service.

    I would pay a fair price for Teamviewer, non-comercial users.  What would (annual expenses)/users per year be?  Instead of users possibly computers and a per computer per year charge?  (note: this is without profit and should)  In the latter case, I would probably be more judicious about my computers (I have five computers and three android devices)

    I would gladly give TV 100% of my income derived from my TV use (US$0.00), particularly if TV pays 100% of my expenses related to my TV use ;)  OK, sometimes my friends have me stay on for dinner.  I could send TV part of my potatoes.  And I would gladly share withTV some congenial conversation.

    It is sad that TV has such creative technical people, but such pathetically dull financial people.

    Are you listening TeamViewer?  Not listening to customers, even non-paying customers, is the death of any business.

  • I only use Teamviewer to connect to my personal pc in my home from my work and to connect to the notebook of my wife. yet, Teamviewer tells me that they think that i'm charging myself and want to apply me charges on comecial use, that is stupid or simply a scam. I cant believe Teamviever is trying to cheat us, but it seems that they are trying to force personal users to buy a service that they promise that is free. I expect one apology form teamviewer and give me the free service for my personal use.

    A quick follow up to my last post. I have emailed TV support by replying to the email I receieved stating that my usage has been set to personal. We shall see what happens next. Definitely something strange going on if you ask me.

    There's another post on this topic. An interesting read. It offers a solution of completing a "personal use verification" form. Although this solution has a few issues. a) it may take 30 days to get verified; b) even if verified personal you may still have issues.

    Here's the link. It may answer some questions for you: Good luck!!  https://community.teamviewer.com/t5/TeamViewer-General/TeamViewer-showed-me-a-message-quot-Connection-blocked-after/m-p/43450#M21529

  • Finally solved. Thank you. So remember, I do not use it as commercial version and let's keep it that way. Of course if it happens to "suspect" please be quick about it. I can send you screenshot of contacts, with description, so you can see that is not used commercially.

  • Thank you @sam_burr. I submitted my info to via link and gave you a Kudos. Wish me luck!

    Not here, the last time I checked.

  • They already have a payment option and show per month costs but no they won't let you pay per month they will only allow you to pay in one lump sum which is not an option for everyone.

    It is disengenous to have this per month listing on the payment options when its not an option at all, just state the full cost for the total yearly cost or don't show it at all.

    I asked about this nigh on 2 years ago and they stated they were looking into adding the proper per month payment options well 2 years later and nothing.

    I have already moved my stepdad off teamviewer and onto remoteutilities just so he can work without interuption.

    I too have been "granted" access to the TV program, once again. This is actually allowing me to have additional backup on computers of people I help. I am still perturbed by the way many of us were treated and basically dumped without any early notice or recourse *(so they thought). It always works out in the end, one way or another.

    I am using Teamviewer as private person without commercial reasons.

    But from a few days I get a warning that I am suspected to use it comercially.

    How can this be removed?

     

  • I also received it as well, I use to access my private computer at home from work, which I basically use to do homework whenever I can. I got his warning I was using as a commercial/professional... made me wonder if they were watching me use it lol
  • I use TeamViewer for personal use.  I am unemployed.   It worked fine until a few days ago.  It times out my sessions and seems to think I use it for business.   Can someone help with that please ?

  • Looks like now I can't do more than 4 connections even with my corporate licence on my install before I get the bloody popup about the commercial use suspected. Yea if this continues I am going to swap to the other one I am starting to use fully and just completly lock down my account from any use in the future.

    Yea, TV really has some issues as of late.  Certainly have turned off a lot of people lately.

    I'd suggest you look at any kind of desktop software that does basically the same thing as they do.  Unless there's some unique thing you need that only TV gives you, there are a lot of options.

  • The main benifit it had for me over the others out there was that it was letting me remote into my pi3 without any need to **bleep** bout with SSH and router settings and was letting me do remote wake on lan for my desktop when I am not home.

    Guess in the mean time I am going to have to have the machine always on until I can get a linux based solution for the pi3 going and or wait till I can get a dedicated windows VM on an upgraded NAS setup for my WOL needs at home since the only downside to the one I chose now is that it does not have linux support at this point in time.

    In regrads to the hinted one due to the way this one has cut me off at the legs now I have little trust in the trial or free version they have since its not telling me anything direct on the site what limitations they have with it.

  • im having a similar issue but i have 9 pc's in my house and its telling me the same message ..and i use teamviewer a lot in my house

    There is no help here just endless #'s of users reporting the same thing.

  • Hi

    Actually, my account has been suspected for commercial uses. I have submitted a ticket and consent form for using the TeamViewer for personal uses only.  They sent me an email that they have reset my account for free(personal use), but when I tried to use the software the problem of commercial use is still exists. How long it will take to reset my account??? 

    Thanks

  • I have received the same email, but still I have the problem. How long it will take from you to return your account for free???
