  • Exact same issue here, using TV 15.13.6 (private use only), connecting to a Client running same version with unattended access via static password.

    Hello guys,

    is there any solution against the frecvently disconnection issue by the NOT COMMERCIAL USED free version? Every 1 minutes will be disconnected since about 8-9 days, without the tipical "buy a comercial licence" message, as it was in the past always...

    This problem persists all 5-6 months since approx. 4 years, always the same situation: after contacting the support the account will be after about 1-2 weeks reestablished (but sometimes takes SOME WEEKS or MONTHS till the support gives a feedback and changes the prohibiting of usig free again, get the connection free, what is more then very frustrating!!).

    At the moment I have the same situation again, for days no one has reported back from support, or just solves the problem ... :-(

    For a long time I have had the impression that TeamViewer is trying to eliminate the free accounts in this way and also force the free users to buy the software.

    Shall I look for an alternative because this repetedly issue, or will TeamViewer be able to eliminate this issues?!

    no most of us dont get the msg about comersial use.

    we get a msg "TIMEOUT" after less then 1 min.

    then we cant reconect for about 5 min.

    i use it to connect to my game servers in my baisment.

    Yeah I get this as well. Tried the reset management thing but it did nothing. Tried reinstalling TV but it did nothing.

    Has there actually been a solution to this?

    Hi

    I have used teamviewer for some time and have been happy about it. But yesterday i got disconnected?

    never happening before. message was this was a free session tried again same thing.

    is this somet5hing yesterday technical problem?

  • I'm not getting the msg about commerical use Just a timeout after less than a minute.

    It takes forever to reconnect then. If I try after 3 minutes program complains. I've even waited 10 minutes.

    Even if I restart Teamviewer it still complains.

    Been using Teamviewer for ages but guess it is time to look for a replacement.

    What I liked about Teamviewer was that my family or friends didn't have to install the

    whole package. Just TeamviewerQS. Start it. Give me the password. I give them help.

    and then we are down.

    Oh well! Am really sure Teamviewer wants ALL of us to start paying even though we use

    for personal connections to our own or family machines.

    Yet another great program going down the drain! :-(

    This is exacly the thing. It has nothing to do with comercial use.

    Its a bug that creates a timeout and the teamviewer company ignores it, since we arent paying customers with free version.

    They still havent adressed it or answered any questions about it, just seems to pretend its raining.

    Have used TV for several years connecting my own 2 computers mostly and helping a few friends. Awesome app when it worked.

    Ill give it a few more days, then im uninstalling and finding something else that works

    I repeat, this has NOTHING to do with the message about commercial use.

    Hi,

    I have not used teamviewer for quite a while.

    Today I needed to help my dad with something and I get disconnected after 1-2 minutes of use after which I cannot reconnect for more than 5 minutes and then I get disconnected again.

    I get a message that I have exceeded the connection time due to my license.

    I am using this for personal use so it doesn't make sense. Previously I have connected for more than 30 min when I needed to help him or other relatives.

    I tried connecting to my dad from a different PC and no such issues.

    What is happening?

    Hello ! From yesterday I have a problem with the Connection Timeout. It seems that it detected a commercial use, but the only thing that I'm doing is to help some friends. You can check all my connections if there is a problem.

    Hello,

    I have been using your free remote support solution for many years, it allows me to teach two generations ... My old father is not very good at computer work, teamviewer is brilliant, he gives me the ability to help quickly. It is the same with my sons ... any problem can be solved quickly even when I'm away from home. I have always been very pleased with your service !! even though I am not a paying customer, I have always recommended your product.

    Unfortunately, I have had a problem for several days ... the application disconnects me after a while and a message appears that I use it for commercial use ... I assure you that I only use it in the circle of my family and colleagues.

    Please let me know if something can be done about it.

    I will be very grateful.

    *Most of the times*, I get disconnected between my two home computers running the same Windows10 and free version of TeamViewer *after a few seconds only*, with a message of the kind: "Time limit exceeded, please re-try in a while" (my version is in French). Sometimes, it can work for an hour or more without disconnection ! Same version, same computers... Remote control from an Android app does NOT get disconnect! This problem never occurred, for years, until a few weeks ago; I guess it could be related to a bug in a recent upgrade. Is this possible?

    Many thanks for your help and reply.

    This is really annoying. Does anyone know if it is possible to use an older version of TeamViewer to get rid of the connection timeout?

    we are now some users that use tv free.

    we get a timeout after 1 min and cant conect again for about 5 min.

    for myself i use this to manage some gameservers for my self and my kids.

    i have the servers in my basement and they dont have any monitor, keyboard or mouse, if i need to do anything on them i have to make a hard stop and get the server up to my tv and conect it there with a keyboard and a mouse and make the changes and then get it back down.

    i have 2 other friends that connect to same computer to help me admin the servers.

    i have NOT get any warning about comercial use or any thing.

    this start with the upgrade to 15.15.5 version of tv.

    can you please give a ide about what i have to do?

    and again this is not a msg about comercial use.

    Hi,

    Recently upgraded to latest version 15.15.5.

    Ever since, sessions from my laptop to my desktop (at home) keeps disconnecting every about 5min with a timeout message.

    Time settings set on both sides to either never or 3h, but disconnections are still happening.

    Please advise.

    Thanks.

    Nahum.

    Hi Everyone,

    I'm using TV for 5 or more years. now I've ver 15.xxx (the newes one) for personal use (free). Since couple of days I have a "Session timeout" box after just about 30 seconds. I checked whether I've been blocked because of "using TV for commercial purposes", but not. I have 7 family member computers I'm connecting with, and with all I experience the same issue. I didn't find any posts or answers to this problem so maybe here I get some :)

    Thanks in advance

    Burt

    This post was merged into the "TeamViewer thinks I'm using the software commercially" thread.

    1. I have not received any such notice/notification.
    2. I always did and still use TV only for connecting remotely to my home desktop when out of home.

    Thank you.

    I've always been using TeamViewer to help my parents with their PC. It became even more important now during pandemic as we don't see each other in person. The last update of TeamViewer changed something is regard to free sessions detection and I no longer can help my parents as the session immediately shuts down when I open the browser. Is this a desired behavior?
