Commercial use - Connection time out
Comments
-
I completely agree. I have been notified that I too am using Team Viewer on a commercial basis even though i probably only use it a handful of times per year! I cannot get mine to be changed back to a private account either which is ridiculous and causing grief as when I need to actually use it I cant! Pathetic by Team Viewer that people using it on a Private basis are not important enough to speak to!

TeamViewer writes me that commercial use is detected. I'm just trying to connect to my home PC to fix the file and send it by mail. This is not a commercial use! How to unblock an account?

Hi,.Can some one explain to me...
I have 4 PC in my connection.
* DAD PC ( so i can maintain theirs PC-s )
*MY OWN Laptop ( i carry him all the time aroun so i could have access to all)
*MY WORK PC (so i can transfer data betwean work @ work and work @ home )
*and i've add PC for my colegues so i can maintain their PC ( since they are not so good with PC usage)
** And TW on mobile phone ( i dont know does it counts)
And after two month of usage i've get blocked with message that i use TW in Commecial usage... Why is that and how to take care of it?
Best Regards,
Vanja

Hi @VanjaGoPlay, since you are transfering work files between two machines then I think that TV are viewing this as commercial usage, which doesn't seem unreasonable to me. I think that the only options you have are to buy a commercial TV license or use an alternative product (of which there are several that are very good).
Many people, myself included, were only using TV to help friends and family with computer issues or to connect to a home PC from a mobile device whilst away from home (and not in an office). To me, this isn't in any way commercial, but TV seem to be indiscriminately flagging people as commercial users in order to get them to stop using their software/services. Why they can't just say "we are no longer offering a free personal use licence, you can sign up for a 30 day trial but after that you much purchase a full license" is beyond me.

Those files are work effort if im on the field and not in office to wrote it.
Mostly those are word files once or twice during month. If we are toalking about transfering files... All other options that i'm using are remote control to check work e-mail. Opening browser .... mostly remote controle....
It's funny since all those data are above 5$ on month so it is silly to buy a commercial licence. and to be honest i have no income on doing all this.
But let it be...
Ill try to find another program similar to this.
Thanks for your view and view of others members.

@VanjaGoPlay : in your specific case, I think that the issue is using TW on your Work PC (even if you don't use it for work). For them just detecting a PC in a work environment is enough (and I think this is in the EULA, it's commercial, not personal). I used to do this as well, but not anymore.

Firstly, it seems to me that much abuse is ,made of personal use licences. I remember the fights I had as an IT support person managing software in a local goverment organization, For example the staff wanted Google Earth installing, which at the time required a licence for business use. They would argue it wasn't for business use, which of course it was. Later we found some one using Irfan View commercially, which again ifor free is personal use only. In that case we were fined and had to pay a large sum of money. So I can see why they are trying to detect business use. I would also say this is hard, and its not suprising some are wrongly marked as such..
Secondly having followed the procedure and having had my account unlocked, it seems to me that they do care about personall users. It did take a couple of weeks, but it was unlcoked.
Lastly I would be prepared to pay something towards using this software, but even the one seat licence is rather more than I can afford. To put it into perspective its about five times what I pay for Office 365 Family Edition which gives me five copies of Office, 5 x 1TB of cloud storage and a Skype Out credit for calls to landlines in many countries....
.. even for small commercial users this is high price so perhaps the temptation to cheat is great and sadly honest users get caught up in the cross fire.

I completely agree with you, well said.
What is possibly the worst thing is that astoundingly there is absolutely NO WAY to talk to TeamViewer. Not even a general contact form.
This is my most frustrating gripe that is seriously considering making me completley ditch TeamViewer, which is not the way they should be treating their users, free or premium.
They wouldn't have the company they have today without their free users, so deciding to turn their backs on them is completely unjust.
So far I've created several tickets, even tried to complete a sales form to generate a response, and I've had nothing at all, not even an acknowledgement. I think there is something seriously wrong with their company practises.
If anyone does have a valid email address for support, enquiries, sales anything... it would be greatly appreciated!

@VanjaGoPlay : I'm afraid it won't be enough: you'll need to fill the form for each TV ID of each computer

On 2019-05-18 - Teamviewer decided that "Commercial Use Detected" and I was not able to loge in to remote PCs anymore... Well I could log in but only for maybe 30-60 seconds before kicked out. Have opened a ticket, no response. Send multiple emails to [email protected] emails... no replies. So looks like this "lets ignore (free) customers" in an ongoing thing for TeamViewer also in 2019.

Solution is from the big-gee company. "Silver/Shiny" remote desktop.

So it happens again and again. My account gets "commercial" tag, so i can't connect to my home PC from one of my two personal laptops. I send a message to support, a few days later my account has no restrictions and all is fine, but then when i change connection from one laptop to another i got "commercial" tag AGAIN AND AGAIN. Trird or maybe four time this year!
Can you do (or me) something to avoid it again?

Using Windows 7 (local pc) and Windows 10 (Remote pc)
I have Teamviewer open, logged in, and remote PC is set for password-use.
I click 'Remote Control using password'.
It tries to connect: succeeds
Tries Authentication: succeeds
Tries to connect: I see
Initiating session
Initializing display parametersThen after about 5 minutes, give or take... it closes, giving the 'thank you for playing fair'.
No error, no nothing. Just the usual pop-up blurb that is associated with timeout of session.

Sad to see my TeamViewer no longer works. I continuously get a message that I'm using the service for commercial use when I'm not.
I've used this service to share images with friends. I see that you now automatically see any log in from Windows servers as commercial which is why I'm having issues.
Time to look for a new service as this no longer works for me.

Waiting time it's not counted in days, more like in weeks or months.

Now, after a session to my own PC, Teamviewer told me that my 7-day just started.
