  • Include me in any law suite as well. The fact is TV set the terms for the license and should honor it. Period. This is complete B.S.

    I tried **Information removed as per Community Guidelines** and many other software but the cost of them was too high. The only reason I bought TV was that I wouldn't have to pay monthly/yearly subscription. I'm quite happy to use my TV10! Include me in any law suite as well.

  • I would also like to be included in the lawsuit

    This is embarrassing.

    First in 2015, I buy license v9. (€479).

    Second after 3 days, I was receive mail that new version is out and I can buy it for 50%. (+€250)

    That's 100% legal, but 0% fair.

    If you kill this service. Oh, boy I will ask judge what's meaning of word PERPETUAL.

    Don't forget to include me in lawsuit.

    Ok, I search Teamviewer EULA , from 2014

    Seller said a permit license, but if you check EULA.

    There is a Server Availability for 10 years.

    That is not perpetual license, but it's enough for lawsuit.

    Correct me, If I am wrong.


    5. Server availability

    • For the proper use of the TeamViewer software the availability of the TeamViewer master server may be necessary. TeamViewer GmbH will take measures to ensure a high availability of the server. However, it is not possible to guarantee an uninterrupted availability.
    • TeamViewer guarantees that the server will be available and usable with the purchased version for a period of at least 10 years after purchase. If the transmission protocol changes in the meantime, an update will be provided to the customer free-of-charge if it is mandatory for further use.


  • Include me

  • Hello Zokac


    Can you post a link to that TV EULA 2014 ?

  • I am from Mexico, I have purchased a perpetual license v10 in 2015 , and this is not fair , how can I join to a lawsuit been from other country?

    I november 2014, I purchased a Premium and forever licence. I paid US$ 1,500.00. I hoped to be using, that expensive licence, for a long time, but a year later was released the version 11 and then began my problems, becase many users had version and I could not access those PCs, and they had to remove the version 11 and reinstall the version 10, and the same problem with the version 12, 13 and so forht. Since the version 15 was released, those PCs running this version could no acces thos PCs using the version 10. In others words, my expensive Premium License was almost inusual and I've facing a lot of trouble to connect with the PCs with the new versions. Even, PCs running Window Server 2016 and above, neither runs the version 10 and there is not any patch to update and be able to access the servers running window 2016.

    Then that means I have not useful licence, nonetheless I paid a lifetime licence. And the opcions that Teamviers offers to me si so expensive and inconvenient that seriuosly I've thinking FORGET Teamviewer, accept I was cheated becasue my expensive paid licence was not lifetime. Thats, actually is a fraud and must exists any that protect the agreement with the consumer. I Teamviewer is goign the change the rules, shoul give our money back.

    I am very dissapointed with them.

  • There seems to be some confusion on the part of TeamViewer; I have a perpetual license.

    Your website said:

    "When you purchase a TeamViewer license, you can use it for an unlimited time. There is no additional cost per use/month/year."

    Unlimited is not 5 years.

    There is no confusion unfortunately ,,, they are just a bunch of untrustworthy thieves.

    Have a look at **Information removed as per Community Guidelines**. Looks good at a reasonable price

    when look at alternatives, I am not so concerned about the dollars but one thing i can not do is deal with Teamviewer again. They are just complete liars. I just called their Australian office and specifically asked if i was buying from an Australian company ,,, they said yes, ,,,, even emailed me confirming then presented me with an invoice from a German company. no thanks

    **Information removed as per Community Guidelines** good as well. same price as TV but looks to have some nice features

  • Please read why TeamViewer wants to use only subscriptions users... easy money ... and you can’t get out of it...

    read review in the link: https://www.trustpilot.com/review/www.teamviewer.com?stars=1&stars=2

    the lifetime licence was not economical for them... but they forget... we helped them to get where they are today !

    without our support, they would not grow or survived.... without users... they will vanish !

  • Add me to the list. I purchased a license in Sept of 2015. Within a few months they moved up to version 11 and I was already angry about that. They "generously" offered me pro-rating (Over $300) when I'd paid roughly $800USD back in Sept. Now we're being told that we're SOL as of January?? Please tell me how this is legal????? Anyways, I want in on a class action. Enough is ENOUGH. And if they think I'm going to spend a PENNY more on them with this kind of behavior, they are SORELY mistaken. I will gladly pay more to a competitor at this point; I'm dead sick of the way they've treated customers.

    You pay for a lifetime license, you should get exactly that- not this BS!!!!!🤬🤬🤬

  • You're not only one in the world, put your monthly subscription model where sunshine not warming you


    Thanks and good luck

  • Put me down for the Law Suit. I was also under the understanding my perpetual license was everlasting. Way to screw with small businesses.

  • Me too, I purchased a license for my lifetime and do not expect to have to purchase it again. V10 works perfectly for me and do not need any other functions.


    Please do not retire this product.


    Kind regards

    Steve

  • Also let me just remind the Teamviewer managers it was us who purchased the early versions that allowed you to develop later versions & take a salary!

    Yes I agree with everything that is being said here.

    How about this:

    TeamViewer leave all their faithful long time customers (who by buying the program have helped elevate the TeamViewer company status to its current level) alone by maintaining support on all previous versions of TeamViewer. All of us have paid substantial amount of money for the original programs and in many cases extra for upgrades. I'm out by close to £1,500 and I'm **bleep** if I'm going to let this one go. It's been irritating enough to see TeamViewer sneaking out upgrade messages to my customers running the older clients so that they upgrade to the latest client with no backward compatibility effectively disabling my remote access. But this really is the final straw. TeamViewer can look for new business with new customers with new versions of their program, no problem. But leave the current customers alone, they all bought the software in good faith, but if this is how they are treated after the company has got their money, I wonder how NEW customers will be treated. Maybe they should be warned as to what is happening to us? If TeamViewer as a company cannot see this is COMMON SENSE then I believe an antitrust lawsuit / litigation will be the only way to go. WAKE UP TEAMVIEWER MANAGEMENT !!! "WACH AUF!"

  • Please include me in lawsuit. This is ridiculous. Teamviewer will for sure get end of life as well if they continued to be greedy.

  • Me uno a la demanda. Como nos organizamos para empezar?

  • I am willing to join a class action to protect the rights of those of us who purchased lifetime licenses at significant cost only to have TeamViewer pull a bait-and-switch.

  • My License was purchased with understanding there was no end date for the product and it was a perpetual license, doesn’t that mean continuing forever or everlasting? Please explain to me why TeamViewer does not have to honor its commitment to those of us that have purchased our products in full instead of paying an extremely high subscription?

  • Yes, I'm even interested to create a Class Action.

    I just want to continue using my purchased product TV10 as stated in the perpetual licence agreement.

    I don't want any newer version !!

  • There were I am guessing 100+ million users on the free side, and they have should have no say in my opinion, but the millions of users on the business lifetime paid end should have one solution... TeamViewer offers us all free Lifetime access to any platform. They pick up hundreds if not thousands of free and paid accounts a day. They built this platform on paid "Lifetime" purchasers as us. They continue bringing plenty of new fish every day, how about reward us the early investors in a lifetime subscription continued on any platform without millions in court fees?

    This is global, look at the complaints. They will be defending around the globe in courts. Fix this by allowing those who actually paid for "lifetime program" to use the service. In a few years we won't even be noticed but grandfathered in. Easy fix for Team Viewer.

    Sure it cost them some cheese, but we gave them the cheese and they us a service to last many years.... This offer of a free "Trial for 6 months is unacceptable. If they don't allow "Lifetime" accounts to continue then global class action is the way to go.

    I bought a perpetual Teamviewer 10 Business Licence on 2015 and paid almost [The price has been removed as per the community guidelines.] for it!

    If Teamviewer persist on their position and don't recognize our rights over the licence that we bought, then a GLOBAL CLASS ACTION is the way, and in the other side i gonna start my personal lawsuit action this week!

    End of story!

  • Please add me in, lest file for a Class Action law suit.

    But I think it's difficult because the license remains valid. It is true that the essential function is lost.

    --- As of June 1st, 2021, TeamViewer 9 and 10 will have reached their end of life.

    Connections outside your network with corresponding versions will not be possible any longer. ----

    The software has always been maintained.

    This is understandably not possible for TeamViewer with only one-time income when purchasing.

    But I consider it an impermissible way. Existing customers would have to receive a purchase solution for upgrades, not be forced into renting.
