    I have 1 laptop and 1 pc.


    But if i connect to any from my mobile i get "commercial use detected your connection is blocked"


    Why?


    Its MY OWN devices for PERSONAL use!


    I cant even contact support as apparently i need to pay commercial license to do so!

    I am not using it commercially, my brother does not know how to use a computer, so I am helping him scan and paste his scan in an email. But after 2 minutes, Team Viewer cuts off, telling me to buy a commercial license or wait a minute to reconnect. Maybe its time you use something simple.

    I rarely use Team Viewer. 99% of the times I need to use it is to help 2 friends with severe vision impairment. They are my friends. They don't pay anything. I am not charging anything and never did to anyone. What am I doing wrong?

    Thank you for keeping blocking me. I am not sure what to say, sorry, I was trying to help them, and had to switch to [Third-party product].

    Never did this before, does it every single time now when I try to help my dad via remote controlling his computer from afar. I have used the free version for years, now all of a sudden it blocks me out after 45-52 seconds. And then doesnt let me reconnect for another 2 minutes. But when I try to reconnect, it then moves it to another 2 minutes later. What a frustrating software with no live chat or customer service available. The exorbitant business licence price is not what we need for just me helping my dad once in a while. Why did it change? What happened?

    Team Viewer says commercial use detected and disconnects. I use it for my home PCs. How is commercial use detected? Any help with this issue.

    It will do that steady, get used to it.. They say they have a free option but they don't, they will do this every couple months and claim its there software that sees you as a business, well for a software company to have software like this doesn't say much about the quality of the software to me.. They fooled me twice in changing my review but cant see that happening again. they will come up with some false excuse and not fix a thing, there are other options out there, i was thinking about buying a plan but was on the fence to what to do, well that's been decided today for having to go through this **bleep** again.. it wont stop trust me, so best to look elsewhere for what you need, i will be taking this to Social media too to try and let people know what to expect from this service. To bad to, has potential..

    I use team view to connect to my own machine or to family/friends ;

    my work is not remote connected in any way;

    i was detected to use for commercial purpose but i used a work connection only after i was blocked to use team view;

    Its some day i m waiting to know if i have been re enabled to use it as always on free basis;

    I m hoping to be able to go on using teamview because i use it from the very old days but as i don't work and gain my money from remoting but from mechanical and papers job, i would like to be freedfrom jail and go on playing my games from my machine and help friends and parents when they had problems;

    can i know the checking status at what point is ? :O

    there are other tools that can permit to do the same but i would like to continue using this one as i m old and lazy to learn something new.

    thanks

    It wont stop, they will say it will and that the software identified you as a business **bleep**, but it wont change and you will deal with it every few months like me.. They say they have a free option but they really dont, its just to try and get you to buy a plan by screwing with the other one.. Ive been through this several times, and now dedicated to let everyone else know of the way this operates, sooo they will say its fixed but in 2 months your right back here again with no one answering you on how to fix it...and when they do they really dont.. Unless you buy an expensive plan for personal use that cant be justified.

    Hi as with many many people I also have had my account incorrectly flagged as commercial. In October I submitted the reset form and it was reset fairly quickly, I did forget to add additional ID numbers but didnt really think of it until two weeks ago when I was able to submit an additional form for the additional ID's that were producing the error message( I could at least connect for 5 minutes at a time). Fast forward to this week and I cannot even stay connected for 1 minute . It seems since submitting the 2nd request link it has rendered all ID's as inoperable. Teamviewer please fix this, I have technology averse family that need my help.

    Some message about business use detected or something and now I'm limited. I use this to access my mum's machine and my home machine when I'm out of town. I can't log a support ticket cause I'm a free user. How do I fix this?

    So if I understand, TeamViewer is not able to pay employee to support for "free" version.

    And "free" version no more exist or for TeamViewer, be able to have maximum 5 second of "remote time" is what they call free.

    Nice.

    ---


    Unable to connect

    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.

    Connections to this partner will be blocked until 01:59.


    And so you try again at 01:59 and same message but at 02:07.

    And so you try again at 02:07 and same message but at 02:15.

    And...

    And ...


    Nice work TeamViewer.

    Good luck to sell your """""free""""" euh, something.

    Also make thing more complicated like now. With "11111" version, it's just good for people.

    All is so clear !!!

    I Also suffering with the commercial use issue.

    I'm using TeamViewer to help my kids whenever they have issues with their computers, and use my homelab computer from work environment, as there are blocked ports which prevent me to connect over RDP etc.

    Now TeamViewer disconnects after about 60 seconds, and I receive the popup window :

    "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 XX:XX."


    Everytime when I try to reconnect after a few minutes, the blocked time will extend for another minute. So actually I'm not able to connect to any system anymore....

    TeamViewer is only used for non-commercial use!!


    Kind regards,

    Chris

    It took me a while to figure it out. When you're filling in the form you have to put in your ID number with no spaces, then click the box below that field where it says "Click here to add ID (up to 10)". That will put your ID in that spot and unlock the signature box and allow you to submit without getting the error. At least it did for me.

    Buenos días, tuve siempre Teamviewer, y nunca tuve problemas. Pero desde ayer, cada vez que me conecto al remoto, al poco se me sale solo. Desinstale el que tenía, me volví a descargar el actual, pese a que estaba actualizado, y me sigue pasando lo mismo, que al poco de acceder al ordenador de siempre, se me desconecta automaticamente. ¿Alguien sabe como puedo solucionar este problema? Es muy urgente e importante...mil gracias...

    The devices are the same since ever, please remove the restriction.

    Hi, I've had a free account for many years, I manage my PCs remotely because I work away from home. I now have the account restricted for suspected business use. How can I get my free account back? Thank you.

    I am from Argentina and I have had a free license for several years for personal use only when I am traveling away from my home, which happens a few times a year.

    This time on my vacation it does not allow me to connect to my house, it seems that it suspects that it is for professional use.

    I don't know how to proceed to have remote contact with my house again.

    Thank you!

    I've been hit repeatedly it seems with false designation as "Commercial Use" when I'm trying to connect from one personal device to a computer at home.

    I use my AT&T personal cell phone to connect back home. Has anyone also started having repeated false responses? Teamviewer has you submit a online support ticket, but no one contacts you to assist as to why this keeps happening even though I'm clearly using personal devices. Has Teamviewer been having issues with false positives?
