    Hi

    I'm contacting you via the community forum because I couldn't open a ticket on your support website.... I tried different browsers and all but it didn't work.

    I have a problem with my TeamViewer software, it says I can't use it because I'm using it for commercial purposes. But the only thing I want to do is access the laptop of my mother to help here if something is not working....

    So I don't know why this should be a commercial use....

    Can you please activate my account so I can use it normally?

    Thank you in advance.

    I've been getting the same thing the last few days. SO MANY posts about it leads me to believe this is a much bigger issue. TV seems to be flagging/blocking many free accounts for commercial use when clearly they are not being used in that manner. Certainly not in my case, with only two personal computers both on my home network.

    I've gone through the repair process to declare your account as for personal use. I included both the TV IDs affected. Was surprised that I got a response email the next day saying the reset was approved. Unfortunately that did not solve the problem. Restarted both computers and logged out/in both TV apps, but still get the popup/etc. I did another reset request and got another response even quicker with the same approval message, but yet even after waiting more than 24 hours, still getting the popup.

    BTW, this is only happening when trying to connect using the desktop app on either of my two computers. I can still connect via the mobile app on my phone with no mention of commercial use at all.

    This leads me to think that there may be some bug/issue with the current version of the desktop app. Maybe not as this seems like something that is handled server-side, but why would it allow me to connect via mobile no problem? What's the difference, the account is the same?

    They need to fix this asap as it's really seems to be affecting a lot of people.

    Hi, I’m trying to help my elderly mother with her iPhone problems, and can establish a connection, but it closes down without any message, after about a minute. I have a free/personal account and have ’successfully’ reset both our teamviewer IDs (twice) but the problem persists. I log in to my account, but she hasn’t got one. Do we both need to be logged in for it to work? / Maria

    Sir,

    my ID is 861 xxx xxx and i have non commercial version 15.37.3 (64 bit) installed. The computer I communicate with at elementary school has ID 1 237 xxx xxx as well as ID 202.xxx xxx.

    In the last couple of days I have been warned that I should use the commercial version and I am disconnected after 5 sec.

    What happened??

    I previously communicated with the same computers for a maximum of 5 hours in total starting from October 2022, the duration of 1 section a maximum of 30 minutes?

    Gentlemen, what are your criteria for the remote control of those computers to classify me as a commercial user.

    The monitored software should not have access restrictions.

    A rational explanation please, if you have one at all.

    Greetings

    I keep on getting messages I am using teamviewer for commercial use, which I am not. I try to connect my computer on summer cottage to see from attached web camera is everything is ok in there.

    What kind of evidence they need?

    Same here. I submitted a request a long time ago and the "fixed it" but it's back again. I can connect from my tablet but not my Mac. I only connect to one computer, my 89 year old father. This is really annoying.

    Good morning,


    I've been using the teamviewer free license for home use for years. My goal is to be able to log in to my desktop PC from time to time via my laptop. For the past few months my system only indicates that there is a license problem. Because of this I can no longer log in. Occasionally I still manage to log in, but after a few minutes the connection breaks and I get a time-out message.


    Could you check this out for me? I would like to continue using teamviewer for personal use.

    Good afternoon. I'm trying to get in touch with someone to help with my account. I am a free, personal non-commercial user, but for some reason, the software seems to think that I am using it commercially, and has throttled my connection time. Can you please help? I tried creating a new user account to try and see if that would fix it, but it seems to be throttled, and I am unable to connect to my home computer, where I am just trying to check on a couple things as I traveled across the country.

    Thanks in advance for the help.

    I'm not sure how long it normally takes for a response from support, but I am needing to connect back to my home computer, and need your help to make that happen. Please help.

    Thank you.

    How do I get Teamviewer to stop flagging me as a commercial user?! I am not. I only use it for my personal PCs and to help out family members.

    My free account has been marked as "supporting others professionally" I only use my account for family and home. But I do have a company account that I use on the same laptop I must have connected to a work PC while still logged on to my personal account. I sign in and out of different accounts depending on what computer I need to get to. So this is why I assume it's been flagged. I get companies to sign up for paid accounts all the time, I work in IT and I know how important licensing is and remaining compliant. Would be great to be able to continue to use my TeamViewer account but support is behind a paywall now. Any suggestions?

    I am the Expert. I have been using free TV *forever* - typically helping just one Novice (my sister) 99% of the time it has been fine. About 16 months ago (probably longer) it suddenly developed a hiccup...which lasted for about 30 days (probably longer) That same issue has re-surfaced in the last few days, and is exactly the same as before. To wit:

    She is online. I am online. We both have TV running. Mine is fully updated (I can't check hers) I can access her PC, and I can make changes, but TV dumps me out after about 15 seconds...saying there's been a timeout. It mutters about one or both licenses being the wrong type (which they are not)

    If I try to re-connect immediately, it will block me - suggesting that I try again in 2 minutes. But if I try to re-connect after 2 minutes, it will block me - suggesting that I try again in 2 minutes. (Rinse & repeat)

    The last time this happened there were 3,167 other people having the same issue. And we all had to send in some sort of form to swear that it was really/truly for personal use only. And--7 or 9 days later--the TV wizards would wave their magic stick and it would work properly again.

    In fact, this cycle had to be repeated about 5 times, because (I firmly believe) the problem was with TV (as opposed to one of our 2 PC's) Anyway - it's back. Exactly the same symptoms. And--as before--not a thing has changed at either her end or mine.

    Hello everybody and Happy New Years.

    I have used teamviewer free maybe 3 times in 5 years for personal use. I tried to use TV last week at home, only local network, but it keeps saying it will log me off in 5 min? Does the free version not work anymore?

    thanks

    I have been directed to fill out the form to get my ID reset since TV is thinking I'm using it for commercial purposes. I'm not... just trying to fix my father's system remotely. We've used TV for years for me to deal with his computer issues, but now it's not letting us connect.

    When I try to fill out the form to request a reset on our IDs, it will not allow me to enter a 2nd ID, nor will it let me submit the form once it's filled out. In both cases, clicking the button doesn't do anything. This is the form at https://www.teamviewer.com/en-us/reset-management/

    Please help, as I need to connect to his system to assist. We both have the latest version of TV installed. When I try to connect, it gives me a "Commercial Use" notification, then disconnects us after only a minute or two, with a timeout error. All this is apparently because we need to reset the IDs on our two computers, but I can't when the form doesn't work. Catch-22... HELP!

    I requested the reset which was approved based on the following comments, but I am still having issues:

    helping relatives - I set up to allow myself unattended access because their patience and knowledge is limited and I wanted to make sure their machines remained updated etc. I am not sure if that caused my account to be suspected as business use and I wanted to know to avoid any issues in the future. Is there an easy way to identify the IDs? Is there any ID for machine that I connect from?

    Hi,

    I'm using TeamViewer for many years just supporting our family PCs and from time to time some of my friends wanted some help.

    In last few months, TeamViewer stopped workin' for me and wanna buy a licence, but I've did not change any habbits how I'm using this SW.

    I don't know if there could be a problem with static IP I'm using at home, but I would like to still use TV, but I'm unable to do that. Is there any workaround how to "claim" that it's really user for non-commercial purpose? Everytime I'm trying to connect to my fathers PC, it stops.

    Thanks, David

    Hi, I keep getting kicked out after around 10 seconds with a message saying that my profile suggests that I am using the free version to provide commercial support.

    I have been retired since late 2017 and am currently downsizing my electronics to reduce back to pretty much just my laptop.

    I want to get rid of my old 27" dual screens for my desktop machine and use team viewer to remote manage my desktop with my laptop on my home network so i can get rid of my old desk and retire all the superfluous stuff.

    How do I convince Team Viewer to review my actual usage and allow my to use their software freely to just do occassional interfacing with my old desktop PC.

    The alternative is that I will have to retain a keyboard mouse and 27" screen which kind of makes the place look untidy. Any asssitance would be appreciated. I only want to talk between my specific laptop and the specific old desktop nothing more and only on my own home network.

    Help Please
