Commercial use - Connection time out
Comments
-
Hello, I'm using Team Viewer, but I continue to recognize personal connection as a commercial connection. Please resolve it.
my email > [The personal information has been removed.]1 -
I've gotten the dreaded commericial use detected message, but *only* on he copy on my laptop, which never does anything except remote into the machine in the living room. I literally use this copy for laziness so I can access the machine out there from my bed! I can't think of a more personal use for it than this!? Does it assume connections within a LAN are commercial? My router should obviously look like a residential router. I'm gonna submit a ticket for this, I'm just curious how the program "thinks".

I've recently received this message with two devices I had it installed on - an old android phone (used to receive verification SMS messages related to outlook, tinder, instagram for two factor auth) and a laptop which contains photos, files and other things I would like to access while travelling as not to haul around everything on a harddisk.
So I'm managing two personal devices, for personal, non-paid use. And I got the message anyway. I've filed reports but have not (yet) gotten a reply, and honestly don't expect one soon either. Right now I cannot access various services while abroad just because teamviewer decided to block access to my android phone, meaning I can't see SMS messages properly (it's a slow phone and the 1 minute is not enough....).
Highly fustrating. It's pretty obvious that Teamviewer does not want a lot of people to use data on their application for free and is trying to reduce the network/cpu usage for free users by randomly sending out commercial use notifications/restrictions. Its become extortion-ware, effectively.

Extortion-ware is right, especially for anyone who physically does not have remote access to a PC.
I am a software developer and absolutely support that people should not freeload or pirate software, however, I think TV should not falsely advertise you allow free use if you cannot correctly ascertain what is free use.
Plenty of users that rarely use TV and use it to less than 5 pcs getting flagged - not from hearsay, but colleagues and friends of mine. So this is all **bleep**. Exhorbitant prices that totally excludes the occasional user that is supporting family and friends for personal use.
Great product, hateful policy on this. I'd much rather there is no free version and a reasonable price for a basic product, or a free version that has limits or whatever. Don't go around saying free for personal use and then have rubbish analytics that flag people incorrectly.
I've completely moved out of TV and testing various products - really rooting for the newcomers. Really hope the old major players get a rude shock at how different pricing is - **Third Party Product**, **Third Party Product** and TV have basically excluded the huge pool of folks that do tech support for family and friends. Good luck to the newcomers that are offering much more reasonable pricing.

Hello guys,
May I check if there is anyone who really got Teamviewer to remove the " commercial usage" tab? If yes, how long will it take?

It took about 1 month. I still get a nag screen that says they think I'm a commercial user when I open it, but then I get full use of the product. Their rep assures me that I'm registered for personal use. It's been working for 3 months without further problems.0

Teamviewer is working for me again. From the time I sent in the pledge that I was a non-commercial user to the time it was working again was about 3-4 months.
These are the facts that I know. After I was cut off, there was quite a surge of people reporting as you have. Then suddenly, the number of messages dropped significantly at the same time TV was working again.
Remember, you are of no benefit to TV unless you report real issues. Hopefully TV realises this and will allow more conscientious non-commercial users.

If you are getting this nag screen, then TV should work OK once you're past it. I didn't realize that at first, and thought I was still locked out (This is from V13)

I think there is a real benefit to TV from free use - a 'herd' effect, like herd immunity. TV is an expensive product, and will have a limited base of paid users. By having a large pool of free users, they can raise awareness of their product at little cost to themselves. TV is, after all, an excellent product, and with a large free client base, they get talked about and recommended in a wide array of online forums and review sites, something they wouldn't achieve as a specialized product with a limited, albeit well-heeled, client base.

Hi All, so I use TeamViewer at home, strictly to access my media server so that I dont need to have 2 monitors/mouse/keyboard on my desk. Last summer, my account was flagged as a commercial user. I went through all the steps, it took almost 4 months, ending with me sending in a signed afidavit swearinfg that this was for personal use. It worked for 3 months, now, I go to use it today, and it is again flagged. Help???

Hi friends,
Will there be a notification to inform you that your account was unlocked ? I've submitted the ticket last week but no any response so far :-(
0 -
No notification in my experience - it just suddenly works.
However, it is very clear TV has no interest in supporting personal use ... take a hint, find an alternative.

Agreed, it sounds like they are blocking the users to use it and making tricks to block the users. That's sad.

I’ve been using TV for about 10 yrs on 5 personal computers and 1 laptop. Recently laptop was blocked (determined to used for commercial use) I’m retired and only use this device to help spouse and mom with their computer issues. How do I get laptop reinstated as non-commercial.0

Dear reader(s),
Since 2 days I experience connection issues to my computers at home. Connections times-out after about 30 seconds and reconnecting is not possible due to restrictions.When I try to connect to another computer, a message pops up with the message: (translated) "Teamviewer is used commercial by you or your connected partner. Your session will end in a few minutes. The free version of Teamviewer is for personal use only"
I only use the application for private use and exclusively with my own desktops (desktops, media pc's and homeserver). I never used this for commercial matters and i am pretty supprised by this message as I use Teamviewer for this purpose for a long time now.
The only thing I can imagine is that I connected a few times from outside the country. My partner is living in Qatar. I lived in Qatar for a few months and connected frequently to my server for updates and tranfering documents and files. I assume this is allowed and still 'personal use', but I maybe this caused the 'license issue'?
Is there somebody who can help me with this matter. As I do not have any license, I cannot submit a ticket. Looking forward to a reply. As I am using my homeserver exclusively remotely (no monitor or keyboard attached) this is pretty inconvinient.0 -
