    No it does not. Your Teamviewer ID is tied to your hardware equipment. Review this thread for proper procedures for RESET MANAGEMENT.

    I have a free account so that I can remote into my elderly mothers computer to help her with computer issues. Team viewer keeps logging me out and then locking me out so that I cannot reconnect for hours. I have uninstalled the ap and reinstalled it, but get the same results. Any ideas?

    My impression from what I read on here, is that they must be way behind in the Resets. Mine (submitted 4/27/2021) took less than 2 business days, but I may have been before hundreds/thousands of others.

    Scroll back and week or so and you should have your answer.

    Had not used TV for several months. Now getting timed out with commercial use message.

    Trying to reset back and

    THE CREATE PDF BUTTON DOES NOTHING

    just as everyone else has said.

    Like others I use this to help family members with their computers.

    A simple check of logs will show how much we use. I'm sure you cut off everyone.

    Thanks for a solution

    Just today, I ran into the same problem. I automatically disconnected one minute after connecting to the remote computer, prompting me that the connection was blocked by a timeout. It has never happened before. I use the free version, not for commercial use, only to connect to a home laptop to write records and documents

    To be fair to Teamviewer there must be thousands of commercial users using the free version which is lost revenue for Teamviewer and arguably unfair to those commercial users who do the right thing and pay. So I'm not surprised that Teamviewer are taking actions to identify free commercial use.

    But where Teamviewer have failed totally is how they, without warning, simply don't allow affected users any amount of time to rectify the situation. Teamviewer should have notified affected users (via a pop up for example) that their use is deemed 'commercial' and that after (say) 30 days their Teamviewer app will be disabled unless payment is made OR the user sends in a 'reset management' appeal.

    This, in my opinion, would be much more fair to all users as well as Teamviewer and would significantly reduce the amount of complaints. Also, probably most importantly, users who are genuinely helping vulnerable people would be able to continue the support and able to take actions to continue doing so (by sending in a reset management form).

    I'm sure that many Teamviewer staff (such as @Esther) are understanding user's situation and trying to change things but probably bureaucracy within Teamviewer makes it difficult to change things.

    Hi I am being disconnected now as I think my account was wrongly flagged as commercial use. How do I reset my account to personal use.

    I have been a TeamViewer Free user for 4 years - with my family. I have a Win 7 system, my daughter has a Win 7 system, and my wife a Win 10 system.  I have no problem staying connected to the Win 7 system - but the Win 10 system times out after about 45 seconds.  Is there a problem between TeamViewer and Win 10 systems?  When I try to reconnect to the Win 10 system, I get the following notice:

    ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

    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.

    Connection to this partner will be blocked until _________.

    ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

    Thank you, Bill Gray

    I have submitted the PDF requesting my FREE license to be reinstated, as it was incorrectly flagged for commercial use. How long does it take Teamviewer to reset the FREE license?

    I am having this same issue and now cant access all three of my pcs. Would love some support on this.

    Here is some support. Use a new host to remote from. It would solve all your problems. Everyone nowadays should have a tablet regardless android or apple, you can use that to remote into your three PCs.

    I connect to my 90-year old mother's computer when she's having trouble with her computer. Lately, as soon as I connect using the correct log in information, it disconnects the connection immediately and says that the connection has timed out and I didn't even have the time to see anything. It is the free version of TeamViewer. What should I do to get it to work?

    I'm having a similar problem. I help several family members but TeamViewer is always a guessing game as to whether or not I can connect. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I tried helping my 89 yr old Uncle last night and got cut off after about a minute and had to revert to helping him by phone - wasn't an easy task.. Error message said I used up my time (about 1 minute). I had a similar problem in the past - but got totally disconnected on my account. I had to have Teamview staff review my account and grant the free access again. I may have to do that again if I can find out how to contact them again. They say its free for non-commercial use but it's really at their discretion.

    Hi, I use TeamViewer to support my 93 yr old mother's computer. For some reason, I get a time-out when I try to log in to her computer.

    What am I doing wrong?

    Hi, Friends,

    How do I prevent free version from timing out after only a few seconds?

    I read the allowed non-commercial free license terms.

    I do what to help my church's staff with no payment to me.

    I read that helping even a nonprofit entity like a church "in kind" (no money to me) required a commercial license.

    So, I "paid the piper". Arrrgggg.

    I have the same problem - just an 85 year old mother instead! This started a couple of months ago - it times out within a minute or so and then won't let me on again. I've updated the version and it still does it.

    Here we go again!!!


    After about a year and a half, Teamviewer has once again started accusing me of using it for commercial purposes, which I am definitely not. I am using it to remotely control the computers, laptops and tablets in my home. My usage hasn’t changed since the last time you reset it to “free” except for a couple of the devices have been replaced.


    Please, please reset it to “free” so that it doesn’t randomly close the connections.
