Commercial use - Connection time out

Last week I was getting the "suspected commercial use" message. I got that fixed (at least thats what the email said). But now when I try to connect to one of the computers I only get a minute before I get kicked off saying the session was "timed out" NOTHING about commercial use, just "timed out".

On top of that when I try to reconnect I get a "connection blocked after timeout......Immediate reconnects are blocked. Please try later or upgrade your license. Connection to this partner will be blocked unitl ##:##" message. The VERY interesting thing about this message is that even after that specified time, I am still blocked and get the same "connection blocked....." message but the "blocked until" time has changed to one minute from the current time. No matter how many times I try to reconnect that message keeps showing up and the time is changed........

i have the same problem

I am getting a message that TeamViewer has timed out. I only have this issue on one computer, and I started getting the Commercial usage message only after I cloned my drive. Initially, I thought the issue was corrected, I sent the form to TV explaining how I use it, but I no longer get the message about Commercial use, just times out after connecting for a couple of minutes. I have another computer in a different room on the same account that works without issues.

Same frustration here - evidently sophisticated means commercial. Like most people, I use Teamviewer for my mom. Hopelessly inept at anything with a screen. I'd like to thank them for letting me use their software to help her out, but the most recent restriction to 5 or so minutes makes that painful.

Honestly - be happy to pay for a personal license without restrictions at a price more suited to the value it has for me, but $600 is enough to make me look elsewhere for solutions - maybe even slog my way through Apple's remote management **bleep**.

I connected to my mother's computer via TeamViewer for a remote control session to assist her and within 30 seconds, just after seeing the desktop on the remote computer, TeamViewer closes the connection. It then displays a text box message saying "Your license limits the maximum session duration to a partner, immediate reconnects are blocked. Please try later or upgrade your license."  So I waited a couple of hours, tried it again with the exact same result.

I've used TeamViewer for years to support my family and to remote control other computers on my home network and until a year or so ago, never had a problem and was always grateful for the free personal use license. I've never used it for commercial purposes. But right now, I can't even remote control my laptop, which is sitting 2 ft. from my router on the same network.

I'm flummoxed as to how to fix this. It's not like I can afford to purchase a commercial license just for the ability to look at an error message on my mom's computer. I tried uninstalling and reinstalled TeamViewer to no avail.

I'd be very appreciative to anyone who can help me solve this problem.

I'm having the same issue, teamviewer team please help. I need to help my parents overseas!!!

I have been using TeamViewer for years but recently it has limited my use to only a few minutes.

Once it said I needed to upgrade to the Business model and after writing back and forth they reactivated my access to a longer time I guess.

The people I am working with are now getting the same run around as I had and we are not big users of this system so why is the system being so complicated to work with>

I have told everyone that if it consists we will change over to **Information removed as per Community Guidelines** so we will see what happens.

So much for that. It has been fun and good with this free service but I guess we are no longer needed.

Thanks.

For some reason when I sign in to do work from home it says we are using commercial use detected and i cant work from home anymore

I used to love TV to help all the family members with their computer issues. Now I get a 10 minute time out which is a real problem. Then you cannot reconnect for a period of time. I cannot remember the amount of time but I think it was 15 minutes. Really not helpful when your great aunt keeps hitting the close button. So Esther responses are incorrect as Bdoubleu stated. Maybe TV now considers all users commercial users. Regardless I had to move on to another Remote Desktop product.

I'm having a similar issue, my connection drops seconds after connecting to my brother's computer. How do I resolve this and what is the PDF appeal process?

Currently I'm using Team-viewer for personal use but during connection it's continuously showing session timeout due to commercial use.

Please resolve this issue as soon as possible or I have to move for another remote connection apps.

Only solution I've found so far is to use a completely different program!! I know we are "free" users but the fact that we can't get support is ridiculous!!! I may just have to move on from TV....smh

What the heck have they done with this program? It used to work so well and I never had issues with it. I've used it for years to connect to my Dad's computer to help him with issues. Today I went to connect and it won't accept the password and then keeps popping up a message about connection timeout and giving me some time that's a minute away that I have to wait. I wait until after that time but it pops up the same message and updates the time to be another minute out. Finally got connected going through the Chat section and it stayed connected for about a minute and then disconnected. When I try to reconnect, it does the same thing. WHAT is going on?

So I've been using team viewer free for awhile to help remote to my home computers when I'm away but now all of a sudden I've limited to 5 minutes for non-business use? is there a way for support to review my logs to see that I don't use it for business so I can remove the time restriction?

I'm having the same issue. I use Team Viewer to help an elderly computer-challenged friend occasionally with help on updates and basic tech questions. Now I have to pull my hair out trying to visualize what he's describing on the phone. Ugh. HELP!
