    I've had a Personal Use account since 2011. Now it has been restricted. I have completed the Reset-Request form and despite ensuring all fields filled, clicking the Generate PDF button does nothing - therefore I cannot submit the request. Can anyone suggest how I can resolve this, please?

    😒

    Ok perform reset as described with link on Esther's blog, even after you get email that account is reset it takes a few more days to work. In the mean time download Team Viewer app from Microsoft store

    Going on a month now and nothing from TV, which ensures they will never see a dime from me. I have no problem paying for good software, and like many other users have stated I would have gladly paid for longer limits / better support if there was a reasonable 'personal' tier.

    I have been using the free version of teamviewer for a few years now, and this is the first time I have seen this error. But I cannot connect to my remote pc for longer than 3 minutes. From what I have read, this is happening to others, and there is no easy way to get ahold of teamviewer, so you have to ask this question in the forums.

    Why time out auto under free session

    I'd like to add myself to the list, but I have found something interesting.

    On my home personal PC I am connecting to the remote devices and it keep saying my "free sessions has eneded" then I also got the messages about the block.

    Now on the other side of this, I can connect to these units on my phone and I did not experience a time out, same router. I also utilized my mother's computer which I usually remote to, to connect to another one of my remote PC's in my house and it worked w/o issue as well. So, what gives?

    I think I am going to unistall and re-install.

    Just for the record requesting a reset via the PDF link -> sign -> upload ... does not work. I did that, got the email that my ID got reset and ok to use for personal. It didn't work, still got disconnected randomly either after 5 sec or 1 minute. So I just submitted the second round of reset request, see what'll happen.

    I just read thru a couple pages of this thread. I don't see any response from Teamviewer support on how to address the issue. I'll join into the thread with this very specific question.

    We have a commercial license and use it properly. I also use TeamViewer for personal use to help family, which is a perfectly legit use of the free version. I run the Teamviewer app, logOUT of my corporate account and logIN to my personal account. I connect and get kicked (timed out) after 30 sec or so. In the past, I would get something like 5 min.

    Teamviewer site claims 'TeamViewer is free for personal use. This can’t be overstated. There are no fees, no time limits, and no subscriptions." and yet I am unable to use this. I assume it has something to do with me also having a corporate account.

    @TeamViewer What is your supported method for having both a corporate and personal account?

    I cant' seem to figure out why my connection to a remote computer keeps timing out on initial connection, every time. The computer is in my trusted connections and I have connected to it before. It shows online, but when I connect, it goes through the process the immediately times out. Thoughts?

    Hi there, I use teamviewer to manage my own personal 5 computers at home as well as help my dad with his two computers remotely, all are logged to my account for easy access. I've been getting kicked out of teamviewer sessions shortly after connecting though, this is the message that appears when I try to reconnect. Is teamviewer free for personal use? because that is the way that I'm using it. It's helpful because I don't have to access all the computers physically in order to make changes or config things..

    Any help is greatly appreciated!


    Sincerely,


    Robby

    I just began experiencing the same issue. I recently changed my router to use pfSense, and am using it to host a personal cloud. I had thought maybe that could have flagged my IP as a 'business' or something to that effect. Do you have anything similar set up, or does this appear to be independent of that?

    They are saying do a commercial reset. No problem. Idk about getting a "warning" though, seems kind of negative. The error message within teamviewer says nothing about commercial license.

    Unistalled and reinstalled. No luck. This is frustrating.

    Hello

    I have a personal account and when I connect to my cottage the connection only last about a minute and then gives me a popup "Your Teamviewer session has been timed out and will be closed". When I try to reconnect it give a different popup "Connection blocked after timeout. Your license limits the maximum session duration to a partner, immediate reconnects are blocked. Please try later or upgrade your license." It then tells me to try again in ! minute, which of course if fails and give the same message. What am I missing her? I can still connect to other PC's.

    Hi. I use the free version to help my mother and friends, about 15. I have tried to add another friend but when I try an connect, after a minute or so I get a "Connection Blocked after Timeout" message and I get disconnected. Same using QS or installed TeamViewer. Only difference is he has a Mac, all my other friends use Windows.

    Can anyone advise why this should happen and what I can do about it? I do not get a "Commercial use" message so I don't think I need to reset, and anyway other people are OK.

    Hi, I'm trying to help my mom with her laptop remotely. This used to work perfectly, now after I connected, it disconnected me after a few seconds and keeps giving me that my session timed out and can't be restarted for 60 seconds. I wait a minute or 2, try again, get the same error message. I tried to connect from my desktop to my laptop, and experiencing the same problem. I have a personal license, but I should be able to help my mom or connect to my other computer for more than a few seconds right?

    I have a free licence ( only private use) but if I try to connect with my friends, after few seconds it comes a windows by saying : "Connection blocked after reaching the maximum time ; Your license limits the maximum duration of a session with a partner ; Immediate connection attempts are blocked; Connections with this partner will be blocked until..."

    I do not understand what it happens ; I never had problems with Team Viewer...

    May I have some help ?

    Thanks in advance

    Am receiving the same error today - extremely annoying. The customer support phone system says free users have to use the community for help but i'm not sure where to contact someone official on here.

    I went through the online steps to request a 'reset', but it only allows 1 TeamViewer ID. I submitted and uploaded the reset form. When I tried to generate a 2nd reset form for my other TeamViewer ID, it simply generates the same form as before.

    I'm baffled by the arbitrary and random nature of these blocks. Doesn't seem like 'commercial use' since I got the same block connecting to the same remote using my other TeamViewer ID (and that's hardly ever used - it's been at least a month since it was used). That remote computer had been accessed by my primary TeamViewer ID only once previously this month, generating an instant 'timeout', then was blocked from any further connection from any TeamViewer ID.

    ??!!

    I am encountering this same issue. Came here to ask why, maybe they updated on their backend that changed some accounts? I use Teamviewer to help assist family members with computer problems (personal use) as I cannot drive out to them most of the time. It just makes like much more manageable.

    I'm trying to connect to my daughters computer so that I can keep an eye on her doing her school work (home schooling is SO much fun lol) but I keep getting a message saying that the connection timed out but I am able to connect for a few seconds. This has been happening the past 2 days now. How do I fix this?

    Tonight I have come to use teamviewer for personal use and found after 2-5 mins that i had been kicked out of the session with an error saying i have been restricted and couldn't reconnect for a set amount of time. This has now happend on multiple occasions and was told that last time my account had been flagged as a potential business account, this is NOT the case, i use teamviewer to help my family with computer based issues, i would like to know why this keeps happening and this to be fixed please, could it be that i am using an old PC that i have a windows 10 Pro licence on? If so is there a fix for this as i really like teamviewer and have recommended it to so many people but at the moment dont feel i could do that now.

    I primarily use Teamviewer to manage my Ubuntu home server/HTPC from my other machines (Windows desktop and Linux laptop). However I also occasionally help out family members with tech support.

    Been using Teamviewer for quite a long time, but now all of a sudden when I try to connect to my home server, the connection times out after roughly a minute, and then I keep getting "connection blocked after timeout" when trying to reconnect. Even when I wait until the specified time in the message ("connections to this partner will be blocked until 16:21"), it just gets blocked again and the time increases.

    I've seen others complaining about this and suggesting the possibility of "commercial use detected", but I haven't gotten any emails or notifications or anything about the "commercial use detected" message so I don't know if that applies to me.

    Does anyone know what's going on here? Is it just a bug in a new update or something? Maybe Teamviewer thinks that because I'm accessing my personal home Ubuntu server/HTPC that it's commercial use?
