Commercial use - Connection time out
Comments
-
Hello.
I am trying to connect to my other devices using my Teamviewer client on my Mac but I keep getting an error that I may be using it for commercial purposes whereas I am trying to connect to personal computers around my house and my wife's or father's to assist with items on their computer having issues. How can I prove that I am not using my teamviewer account for my devices in a commercial manner but purely personal?

I use TeamViewer between my domestic laptops purely for personal use not commercial. You appear from the message to have blocked my usage apart from your assumption being incorrect I resent being accused of being dishonest.
Please advise how I can get the acount unlocked for personal use.

I have used TeamViewer to connect with my second computer and do some stuff on it from my main machine. I have never had any problems with connection limits etc. I use this software just at the home.
Unfortunately, yesterday I tried to connect with a second computer and do some things there, but TeamViewer close my connection after 1 minute of streaming. I repeated this a few times, but the result was always the same.
What is going on? As I remember, the free version for home usage has never had some limitations. So this 1 min limit is some kind of bug, or did they change their policy for the very restricted model?
On a machine that should be the host of remote desktop I have installed Windows 10 Home Edition, so I can't use native Windows RDP app.

@satisfiedshoes Your connection is being limited because TeamViewer suspects that you are using it for commercial purposes. If you believe that it is incorrect (which appears to be common), then you can use this form to request that they investigate.
Worth noting that there is no guarantee that they will unblock your ID. If they don't then you will either need to pay for a license or find alternative software.

I had issue with Windows 11 builds 22478.1000 and newer. After successful connecting to remote PC I can see only glitched "connecting window" not the remote PC screen.
To solve this issue you have to revert back to Windows 11 build 21xxx.xxxx.
Second option on AMD processor and graphics was install latest AMD drivers. Now it works again. But I have similar issue on second computer with Intel and Nvidia.

Hi Guys,
This is my first post in this community. I will try to be as precise as possible. I linked to this thread because I have the same issue as reported above. I have received a commercial use detection (Possibly due to use of a VPN). This has happened several times in the past, and each time I have to get re-whitelisted.
I am a retired disabled man who uses the app to assist my aunt, who is clinically extremely vulnerable, following cancer treatment and currently won't let anyone but medical personnel into the house. I already installed this on her system when I set it up for her, so tried to access it recently to look at a pop-up on her system. When I tried, I got the commercial use detected due to activity. The thing is that I haven't used this app to help anyone for several months now, so find high activity use a bit strange.
Anyhow, I went to the reset-licence page and I filled in the online form. When I pressed the button to create the PDF and send, nothing happened. I have now tried this on Chrome, Edge and Firefox. All with and without the VPN Running. There seems no way to speak with tech support, which I tried to do, unless it is through this forum. Hence, this post. My ID is **Do Not Post TeamViewer IDs**
Any help anyone can offer me here would be greatly appreciated.

I use the free teamviewer app to monitor 3 satellitetv boxes which supply my residential complex in Tenerife with 3 tv channels from the UK. I live on the complex but the tv room is 7 floors down in another building and teamviewer saves me the time if there is a problem. Generally I just check them twice a day but recently due to supplier server problems it has been quite unreliable and I have been connecting many times over the last few days. The system now thinks I am not a residential user and has blocked my access. How do I get my account unlocked'

I would like to prevent my users from upgrading on their own, how can we leverage your patch management and build a policy that doesn't allow this to happen? I work for a smaller company which never implemented active directory. Literally just deployed computers as needed where ever without any infrastructure.. about 50 to 60 pcs/laptops. Thanks for the help on this.

Several windows 7, 8, and 10 users ask how to fix it: windows can’t find one of the files in this theme. The users with the error said that it occurs at that time when they aren’t using the computer for a while. So if you are facing this issue as well, we are here to provide you the quick solutions.
Even after clicking on the yes option from the error box, it will not disappear. The error occurs with a file named “settingsynchost.exe.” Apart from that, you will have
an error because of the current theme that you are using.
There are some common causes of this issue that you will know below in our guide. Read on for knowing more about it! Follow the instructions step by step to resolve the problem correctly.

Hello,
I have been using Teamviewer for years to support my elderly parents and to connect between my different personal computers.
Today I got a message with the context "suspected commercial use detected" and my connections are being limited in time.
How do I continue using the free version?

I have a free personal use license. I use TeamViewer for helping my relatives with IT issues. I get "your connection has been blocked because of very high activity level." How do I resolve this and get reconnected?

I have been using TeamViewer for ten years or more. Suddenly, I am getting this:
I am at home and using only my laptop and a desktop that I use as a file server - at home, not in a commercial environment. I uninstalled & reinstalled TeamViewer on both, to no avail. Any ideas? Did anyone already have this problem & solve it?

Hi Support team,
Not sure if I should start a new issue, but I'm having a similar issue too, I do not use the tool commercially.
I mostly use it to support fellow students who need help and to transfer my research data across computers for analysis.
Please advise

I'll add my frustration to the list of sudddenly lossing connectivity (without warning) o another laptop in my training room to remote control whilst downloading routes on my training app.
I have filled in the form to get personal use restored and I have heard nothing.
I'll assume it will never be granted so will uninstall from all my machines and my family and friends too. I will find another piece of software. I worked in IT and recommended this product to many, it not on my recommended list anymore 😒

Just happened to me. Just how do I contact TeamViewer if I only have the free account. This happened once before a long while ago. but that time it was easy to get in contact and resolve issue.

So here is the issue. I get blocked by TeamViewer as they think I am not using it for personal use only. While infact, it is totally personal use. So how can I resolve this and explain my usage? it appears i cannot.
I understand that TeamViewer need to keep an eye on things to stop mis-use, but not being able to explain myself seems, to say the least, a little....mean.
This did happen once before, some time back. That time I was able to contact them and explain, resulting in me being 'un blocked'.
Although I am uncertain, I believe TeamViewer is the best software for my personal use. But whatever :-(

I have submitted the reset form 2 weeks ago and am still locked out my account. How long does it normally take, and is there something else I can try.

I've been using Teamviewer for personal use for 10 years or more and love the convenience of connecting to my home computer. I was recently blocked for suspected commercial use. Could that be caused by my recent use of a VPN (Private Intenet Access) for security reasons on all my computers? The VPN is set to load on start.
Most of my use of Teamviewer in the last few months has been from my notebook computer in my living room to my desktop computer in the bedroom, 30 feet away, and accessing cloud storage on OneDrive, all while both computers are VPN connected.
Is the VPN the problem?
Thank you,
Rob Rath

Hoping the ability to manage Windows 11 workstations comes soon as clients are wanting to upgrade.
