    I am getting the same issue (Session Timeout & Unable to Connect). This has been happening multiple times and it is very frustrating when trying to help someone. My ISP is Spectrum. I am using Win10 with TeamViewer ver. 15.37.3

    I would appreciate any suggestions as I am using a Free License since I only help one person once in a while.

    Sincerely

    I am currently a grad student. My license was free, but few days later it starts to require me to buy a license.

    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

    Me too.

    I use teamviewer portable a couple of times each year for many years, to help relatives with their Windows computer problems.

    Last night, I encountered this problem where it only works for 15 seconds and I get warning about suspected commercial use etc. I think I last used teamviewer about 2 months ago.

    To get around the problem, I eventually discovered using another computer is able temporarily get around this issue.

    I just found the Reset form posted by another user, hkrause, a few messages up.

    It wouldn't accept my 8 digit ID until I realised I had to omit the spaces.

    After pressing Submit, it seems to take a long time before it is successfully submitted and the page changes to confirm submission.



    Update: Received an automated email from TV confirming my ID for my main PC has been reset for Private use less than 12 hours later. I can confirm it is working. Well Done Teamviewer team.

    I'm not the only one, it worked for years and I'm not able to do a remote session to help my family anymore. I get disconnected and it tells me to wait for one mn to retry but doesn't work. I try to reactivate my account but it goes into a loop. Lots of people are not happy about this bug or lack of consideration for personal use

    I am not using team viewer for business or professional use , I just only connected with my family members and friends’ computers and devices and also I have many devices myself and connected such as with my own phones and computers but there was a system mistake that it thinks that I was using for professional purposes and blocked my free account usage. I should have right to use freely like others , request to unlock the access and allow me to use again please

    Hello. One of my PCs keeps telling me commercial use detected when I try to connect. If I can connect at all, I usually only get a few seconds. Does anyone know how I can stop this message?

    I am suddenly receiving the following message that my behavior pattern suggests that I am providing commercial support, which is not the case. I only use teamviewer a few times per year to help my parents. Now I can no longer connect anywhere. I can not find how to unflag myself as commercial user. Any suggestions?

    I'm a home user who wants to access the laptop from the smartphone. Both devices are in the same network.

    Why does "comercial use" blocking pop-up appear and avoid the use?

    Windows10 and android, both with latest version.

    Why does TeamViewer think I'm a comercial user?

    I appreciate your help.

    Best Regards,

    It reports Connection blocked after timeout and Commercial use, as the screenshots show.

    I only use few times last year, and I haven't been using for like 2 months, why am I detected overusing and what can I do to repair this problem? Thanks a lot.

    Teamviewer FREE to Teamviewer QS. Fails to connect. Error 'may be a problem with license.' Both current versions.

    EDIT:

    I just submitted a request to reset my account EVEN THOUGH I am not getting an error about using a commercial account. A very different error which only appears when I try to connect to someone. I cannot quote the error now. something about "MAY be a problem ...".

    Just switch to **Third Party Product**.

    If you install this software and use it rarely to log into your devices a few times per year, it is useless as it will not work without raising a reset request.

    Why can't I remote control my home computer by using a free license ? TeamViewer is telling me that one of the two computers needs a license.

    Did anything change about this?

    I was able to use it before with no problems!

    no replies. Maybe this will get answered. Attempt to connect to a Teamviewer QS user results in a failure mentioning 'there MAY be a licensing problem'. Well, that is not saying I'm using TV commercially, but I lodged ticket to reset my account anyay. No reply to that either. Could someone knowledgeable chime it? Thanks.

    I am a user of the free teamviewer. I have used it for years to help my 90-year-old mother (who lives 2k miles away) with her phone and computer. It is not for business use, it is for personal use. But yesterday, it timed me out after like a minute and said I needed a business license, which is not accurate at all.

    I tried to call support but they would not help me unless I have a license. They said I can only use the community support, but unless some of you are actual support employees and can correct the mistaken license issues in my account, I'm not sure what good this will do.

    When I try to connect to my other computer with TeamViewer, it says something about a licensing issue (?) (it doesn't say anything about suspected commercial usage, just some nonsense about a "license issue" when I'm literally a free user so I don't know what license it wants) and then closes the connection after about 30 seconds before I can even attempt to debug the issue. When I try to reconnect, it blocks me and tells me to try again in a minute, and then I do that, it tells me to wait another minute, and then another, and then another... What's going on and how do I fix it?

    System says I have been using program commercially. I use it only at my home network! This causes the program to time out.

    System times out and says I am using commercially. I use it only for my own private network!

    Hello,

    I used to use TV through my employer. Since departing, I was told that I have to contact TV to have my computers removed from their database for whatever reason. It seems that when I try to use TV for personal use, it kicks me out after a couple minutes. I have no idea where to start so I can use it personally to help my elderly mother. Can someone help me please? thank you.

    My teamviewer app says i am using it for business.

    i am disabled, so it's hard for me to move around.

    i use the teamviewer from 1 computer to another on the same network in my home.

    i do not use it for business.

    how can I get this message to stop?

    When I log in it kicks me off right away and says commercial use might be an issue with licensing agreement. What do I need to do ??

    After a long time, I'm trying to connect to my grandma computer, but I get the following error

    This used to work (about a year ago), now I'm suspected of commercial use. My computer has TeamViewer 15.18.5 with free license on Win10 Pro, her computer has TeamViewer 15.37.3 with free license on Win8.1 home.

    What is the free license for if not for this occasional use? I had to travel to her flat (in another town) in order to resolve the issue, instead of supporting her remotely.

    After upgrading both computers to the latest version 15.37.8, the problem persists. I connected to her computer, but after 10s the session was closed. Unusable :-(.

    The only reason that could cause this problem, that I can see, is that my computer is in a Windows domain. But AFAIK, the company doesn't use TeamViewer (we use MS Teams).

    Hi.

    i am helping one person with intellectual disability. Due to the disability i often need to help several hours per day and now team viewer thinks i do this professionally. What can I do? I live in sweden where all contact with authorities is digitally over the net which is impossible for my relative.

    Greetings

    Hi there, same as the most recent messages.

    I haven't connected using TeamViewer in months from my desktop to either my laptop or elderly fathers PC, and they have been off for 7 months and 1 month respectively. As such I'm surprised get the above message when I help another elderly relative out and had to hunt around to find out what software I previously used as I had forgotten about it!

    Many TIA for any recommendations, but if nothing is forthcoming I'll have a look for an alternative.

    Cheers

    Simon
