    Hello I am using the free license (non comercial use only account) until today I had no problem accessing my home computer from my laptop. Today I logged in and then got this message after it logged me out of my PC, "Connection blocked after timeout. Your license limits the maximum session duration to a partner, imediate reconnects are blocked. Please try agian later or upgrade your license".Was there a policy change? I have been using this free account for years with no issues. Thanks for any help

    Why do teamviewer limits my connection to my desktop (remote from phone)? If i remote my desktop from another desktop, it works fine...

    Thanks to both of you for your comments!

    Hopefully, we get a official feedback soon.

    By the way, I am working also from Germany. Maybe this is a country or continent related issue 🤔

    Nope, the remote PC is running the latest (at least the check for a new version says so) and the session keeps timing out after 3 or so minutes. TeamViewer is useless to me now. This is on Win 10 Pro 20.04 H2.

    Hi All!

    I have the same issue with my Win10 version since a view days.

    And no idea, how to fix them.

    Interesting: The IOS version is working properly.

    Will anybody of TV read this blog???

    Regards

    I have the same problem,

    I am using TeamViewer free license since many years, But after the latest update after some minutes the connection has been interrupted. Furthermore, I deleted the program and reinstalled the Free license Version. But the same happened.

    I am predominantly using TeamViewer to connect my smartphone with quick support to my notebook. Sometimes I am helping friends and family members with remote support.

    I am hoping it's only a bug

    Hello fellow sufferers,

    I am also having this problem right now. Based in Germany and taking care of my families PCs and my own ones while I am at my gf's place.

    Getting time outs and blocked from direct reconnects.

    Can't tell when it has started to behave like this, since I am not constantly using it.

    Hopefully it gets resolved quickly.

    Looks like a big bug!

    Hopefully, we will get a quick response. I wrote a pm to the moderators, maybe it will help us.

    @Moderators: We all have a free license for sure and a commercial use is NOT suspected! @Natascha @JeanK

    (Just to be sure, because I have seen threads of other people regarding this topic which were randomly merged to the "commercial use" topic)

    Is this how you are trying to bully customers into paying for a commercial license they don't need?


    I have been using TeamViewer for years now and never once had a problem, today however it started.

    I have a stable internet connection, but still, when trying to remotely control my computer that is about 3 meters to my right, because I am a lazy guy, I cannot connect to it for even a single minute, without it giving me the timeout **bleep** and blocks any attempts to reconnect.

    I timed it!!! 51 seconds. 51 seconds is all I get, when I want to use it to control my PC, so I can listen to music with an actual sound system or do anything else.

    Then I get the message, that reconnection attempts are being blocked for 1 minute, of course I wait that minute and of course, after that minute, I get the same message again, with the same 1 minute cooldown.


    I reinstalled the program TWICE!! and absolutely no change in behavior.


    Thank You!


    Sincerely,

    a former user

    Good evening,


    I keep getting logged out of my connection and it says "connection refused due to timeout". I'm not sure why this keep happening or how to fix it.


    Please advise and thank you.

    I have been having issues with TeamViewer timing out after like 5 minutes I been using the free version and i think maybe someone i connected to installed it commercial and not the private. Can you fix my account back to normal please

    Same issue here. Worked fine last week.....today I am unable to connect for more than a few seconds and then it times out. This is very frustrating as the connection is needed to work from home (and impending deadlines for work are not able to be met due to this new issue). FWIW, I am also in Germany and using a free license for personal use only.

    @Tracy1, I think using TV for doing (paid) work remotely is considered commercial use…

    I'm using it to help (mostly elderly) family members and seeing the same problem.

    Regarding the question of paid vs. free, I would gladly pay something like 5 Euros a month to be able to reliably use it with a small number of remote machines for a limited time. Something like 10 machines and 10 hours per month would be enough.

    Edit: I'm in Germany too.

    Edit2: ** REMOVED BY ME BECAUSE EVEN MENTIONING OTHER PRODUCTS IS APPARENTLY NOT ALLOWED HERE **

    Same issue here in Switzerland. I suspect this is not related to the country you're connecting from.

    Exactly the same issue for me and I am in Switzerland too. No commercial suspicion.

    Same issue in Italy, i agree, it does not matter the country you are in.

    Either a fix comes soon or I have to find an easy alternatives like ** Third Party Product **, ** Third Party Product **, whatever!

    Dear all,

    I got the following message from the support:

    "I encourage all users experiencing this while being 100% sure to not use TeamViewer for any sort of "working" to fill out the form on teamviewer.com/reset. Our team will review every submission within a short time."

    Let us keep updated, if this will change anything!

    I have faced the same issue, does anyone have the mail id of the customer support?

    I am a student and I am also using a free license.

    Whenever I try to connect to my PC using teamviewer it shows some license error and says that my account is having limitations for using teamviewer as I use my account for Commercial purpose.

    But this is not the case, I never used my account for commercial purpose or in fact I use TeamViewer once or twice a month, just to connect to my own device linked with same account.

    How do I fix this, there is no option to contact Teamviewer support aswell.

    I have been using Teamviewer with free license just fine with my family/friend but today when I tried to connect to my friend computer, Teamviewer blocked me saying that "Connection blocked after timeout. Your license limits the maximum session duration to a partner, immediate reconnects are blocked. Please try later of upgrade your license."

    After that everytime I try to connect, it blocks my connection for one minute. If I connect at 15:31, it says "Connections to this partner will be blocked until 15:32" and so on.

    This is strange.

    It happened to me a couple years ago, i had activated the "start at login" Team Viewer option on my windows computer and i immediately received a notification about potential commercial use detected and i could see this notification permanently in the Team Viewer windows.

    Now i see everywhere "free version", so it does not flag any detection

    Is TV support aware of this? do we still need to go for the reset procedure?

    This link wouldn't solve our issues.

    Isn't there anybody from Teamviewer for helping us with timeout issues in free versions?
