    I suspect you may have to send in a form for each and every computer to which you connect, not just the client (or is it "server" using client-server terminology?)

    I think if you send the form everyday, for each computer, from each computer, for three months you may hear something.

    Or not.

    I suspect that Teamviewer has dedicated one person, one hour per month, to review cases such as ours.

    @OldSurferDude : yes, I think you're right, I filled in the form for all my IDs, the problem is that when they answer back, they don't tell you which one has been reset to free. Thus I've received an email like this, and another one to fill the declaration of personal use, but again no idea to which IDs they apply. Therefore, I consider the procedure to be completely useless, and it's just dust in our eyes...

    Hi @pv7721 

    You have to fill out a form for each ID... We are not able to reset more than one ID with only one form. 

    Thank you and all the best,

    @Natascha : Yes, I understood that, what I point out is that when we receive back an answer from TV, we don't know to which ID it pertain...

    @AriannaMicrochi : have you filled the form only for the ID of your computer, or for all the IDs you connect to?

    Yes. A form with my ID. I have only one ID!

    @AriannaMicrochi : but what are you connecting to then?!?

  • AriannaMicrochi
    AriannaMicrochi Posts: 19

    I added my parents' computers to my account. I don't remember exactly why I did it a long time ago.
    Among my teamviewer contacts I see their computers, I click and I connect.

  • pv7721
    pv7721 Posts: 139 ✭✭

    @AriannaMicrochi : then you need to fill it again for the ID of your parents' computer.

    Not only the form, I filled out the form and now they are asking me to fill out a weird paper with my name, address, and more, SIGNED, and to send it! This is ridiculous!!! And I will have to sign a paper for EACH of the IDs that I use?

    I'm not tolerating such waste of time only because TeamViewer believes that I make commercial use of it. I will just simply delete my account and start again like the first day. That day when I thought TeamViewer was great, I want to give it a last chance, or else I will switch to a different alternative, free or cheap, but that won't be annoying me with commercial use warnings.

    Thank you

    @marcgalmes : as they do it one ID at a time, probably yes, you'll need to sign the form as many time as they ask it. It's so ridiculous they don't see how ridiculous it is...

    It's nothing to do with business commercial use, its something TEAMVEIVER is doing.
    I use FREE Personal since 2012 & lately 2018 its been the same 5 minutes and cannot reconnect for 1 minute for me also, and they dont reply to tickets for any sort of free support, they dont care unless you pay for premium.

    I am having the same problem. I installed it for personal use and it comes up with expired trial?

    Restarting the program and PC does not change it. So how do I get it to work?

    Thank you for your message. 

    Please read the following article and fill out the form:
    Why do I see TeamViewer trial - 'Your trial period has expired'?

    Have a great weekend and all the best,

    It is no longer important. After receiving the email "Your TeamViewer ID has been reset to free" 4 days ago, I tried it for the first time right now and it is still locked for commercial use.
    At this point, I move on to **Third Party Product**
    They're just wasting my time and having told me that he was back to normal now, I am deceived and the moment I need him to help my father doesn't work.

    Same here. They sent me the email for reset your ID, but I tried 7 days after still blocked. Totally waste of time. I am using another remote access software as well. :-)

    Hi Natascha

    Thanks for the fast response.

    Last Thursday:
    On my site: TeamViewer Full version portable: version 14.1.9025.0
    On family/friend site: TeamViewerQS - version 14.1.9025.0

    Last Saturday (yesterday):
    On my site: TeamViewer Full version portable: version 14.1.9025.0 and TeamViewer Full version portable: version 11.0.59518.0
    On family/friend site: TeamViewerQS - version 10.047484.0

    On both days a disconnect after about 5 minutes.

    In general: with the versions 14.1 release (maybe 14.0) this happens. It is after Teamviewer gives a message that I have to update because the old version will not work anymore in future.
    Until Februari I have worked with TeamViewer Full version portable: version 11.0.59518.0
    and on remote site: TeamViewerQS - version 10.047484.0


    The chapta procedure takes more than 10 minutes and 4 Device authorization needed emails!! Login procedure doesn't work with Firefox/Waterfox.

    Hi @eejeel 

    Thank you for your answer. 

    Do you have a license in a certain version that you use or are you a free user?

    In general, depending on the location, we’re asking our free users with older versions of TeamViewer to update to the latest version in order to continue using the software. The latest version is currently TeamViewer 14 (on both sides).

    After updating, free users - those who don’t have a license - will still be able to use TeamViewer as usual. There is no change regarding personal use with TeamViewer 14.

    If you are a free user, please update every TeamViewer to version 14. If you have a license for a certain version, please downgrade all your software to the respective version. 

    If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us again. 

    All the best and a good start into the new week,
    Natascha

    I have been using teamviewer for years for assisting friends/family members as well as accessing my linux desktop. Have not been involved in any commercial activity. I have encountered "suspected commercial activity" for three times in a row. Each time I access my linux machine, the teamviewer pop up a message tell me that I have been locked. I then write the the teamviewer team to ask for unlock, which succeed for the first two times. However I got locked again immediately when I tried to access my linux machine--like 30 seconds after I was told unlocked.

    The third time I was locked, I write to teamviewer to express my disappointment; I however received a message told me that "teamviewer cannot determine my status". What the heck? Teamviewer cannot determine my status? Then how can they tell why they can unlock me previously? Also the fact that I was locked immediately when I tried to access my linux machine is suspicious. There's clearly something very wrong with the commercial determination logic in the teamviewer product.

    no, it's not a fake message, you can use TeamViewer on up to 5 computers for free, don't install third-party product becuase it would be non reliable.

    I've set up a computer for remote management at my fathers house to help  him with computer problems occasionally.

    I've added it to my list of computers and the connection works great, except that I get disconnected after 5 minutes, and then I have to wait for a while before re-connecting or I get an error message.

    I confirm once again this Teamviewer has being used JUST for personal purpose an no for any commercial or enterprise use.

    Please reactivate free user license in order to allow the personal use of packages for monitoring and management of frends and relative pcs.

    If this is a limitation of the Free License, I'll rather use a different solution for this sporadic support need.
