Hello,

I am having the same issue. I am trying to support my 95 year old father and Teamviewer is literally his lifeline. Now it lets me login for about 90 seconds and then just disconnects. When I try to re-connect it says I've breached some time limit and can't reonnect until [current time plus 1 minute]. So I wait until [current time + 2 minutes] but get the same error message but with [current time plus 1 minute] again. So this time I wait until [current time plus 3 minutes] and so the loop goes. If I wait an hour it does let me log back in but only for another 90 seconds before terminating the connection.
Something is seriously wrong and it has only started happening for me in the last week or so - I've never seen this before and I've been using TeamViewer virtually since it was released.

I am trying to reset my computers from being flagged as "Commercial User". I tried to populate 2 computers (this one and the one that I am commenting to) but only one machine populated. When I tried to complete another form, the company stated that I already submitted a form and I have to wait 24-48 hours. Any ideas?

I help my blind mother navigate her computer. Why is this counted as commercial use?

Good day. Recently, there has been a report of suspicion of commercial use. But I didn't do anything like that. What should I do to get my status canceled?
with respect

I only use the program once in a while, not for business.

Good morning,
My name is Jerzy Pogrzeże and I am a PhD student. Currently, I was using your program for teaching purposes, to be able to remotely check the progress of my analyzes on computers in my Department, which greatly facilitated and allowed me to save my time. For some time, the program doesn't allow me access anymore.
Therefore, I would like to ask for a possible unlocking of access to the free version of the thresholds for teaching purposes, so that I can continue my research work.
Have a nice day.
Yours faithfully
Jerzy Pognec, MSc

This started a few months ago. I'm using TV on a MacOS BigSur. Every time I open a TV session it closes after 10-15 seconds. I'm using a non-commercial license. Is this a wanted behaviour?

I have used Team Viewer for years to access a distant PC to offer help. For maybe a fortnight now, I have received a 'time-out' notification, after only a minute; and am then blocked from attempting a new connection.

Used TeamViewer Free occasionally for several years. Now I am blocked due to commersial use. I have been granted access several times but am each time thrown out with a message about commercial use. My use is exclusively private. What could be wrong? And what can I do. Since it can take several months between each time I use TeamViewer, the pro version is out of the question.

As the title says, how do I fix this? My connection is cut off every 5 minutes which is really annoying since I'm trying to help my mother with her aging laptop that also takes forever to load stuff.

I don't seem to be able to easily find a solution - so I'm going to post this everywhere I can and see if I can get TeamViewer help and/or post other software solutions we can use in a personal application.
It is crazy that the timeout keeps coming up for no reason. I am not a commercial business, but something in their software is triggering the event and making a timeout in just a minute or two.
Here is what I have learned so far:
Solution #1 - Remove the app from all of your computers, and every hint of its existence, and reinstall. Uninstall the app. Then you have to search your hard drive (with hidden files showing) for every reference to TEAMVIEWER. Delete them all, files an folders. Then you also need to go into the command prompt and type REGEDIT. These are important windows values - be careful. Click on the very top line COMPUTER and then Edit>>Find or Control+F. Type in TEAMVIEWER and search. If it is in the left screen - delete it there. If it is in the right screen delete it there. Deleted everything you can. Search again and make sure all is gone. Then when there is nothing left you can delete, close the REGEDIT and reboot your computer. Then download and install again, selecting the free version. This all takes about 20 minutes. I did this on two computers and it solved the problem! ISSUE #1, I then installed the app on my iPhone and connected remote to one of the two computers. BAM! Timeout issue reappeared!!! Now I have to do everything again and not use the iPhone app.
Updates to come.

I'm having the same issue. Never had this happen before. I'm considering other programs. There seem to be good alternatives out there.

For quite a while, I have not been able to help my friends because teamviewer times out after I am connected for about 30 seconds. What would cause this problem and how do I fix it?

I am not getting a message about commercial use suspected, just a message that my connection has timed out.

TV on one PC connects correctly. TV on 2nd PC drops connection within a minute (Session timeout). Both PCs have same settings for TV. Does anyone know why second PC has TV Session timeout error?

I'm only on for 30 sec and get kicked saying session timer limit exceeded

Same here. I reported it in another post and got an email with a link to a 'reset', and was told to fill out a form, but there is no form to fill out at the link https://www.teamviewer.com/en/reset-management
CHAT gives four options that do NOT include addressing my time out problem.

Hi all,
Can someone help to advise why my account has been restricted? I am just helping my sister-in-law and its frustrating that this has happened. How do I reset this?
Thanks in advance,
Hafiz

Follow the directions exactly. No spaces between TV ID numbers, just use comma. No spaces in (non-usa) zip codes. Try that to see if it helps. Share your results here with others if it works.

Advise what?

Sounds like you are using TV commercially. That is not for personal/private use. Unless you know of some education exemption. Read the first message in this thread along with the blog mentioned in the message.

Good luck with that long procedure. I don't think it will work in the long run. Fill out the RESET MANAGEMENT form mentioned in the first message.

@FuzzmanKs it seems that you and I seem to be doing the heavy lifting for teamviewer in constantly pointing users to the need to go through the reset management process. 😃
It would be so much easier if Teamviewer gave proper notice and a link to the reset process before they deem users to be commercial users.

Hi. I have logged four tickets for removing the commercial use flag, sending in all the correct teamviewer ID's etc. Each time I receive an email back from support stating that the flag has been removed... Yet I am still being flagged for commercial usage. Please help!
