    This has happened in the past, but TV was prompt about getting it resolved.  This time, I've not even recieved *any* notification that they've even recieved the form to have the "commercial" flag removed from my system/account.

    Is there anything that can be done to clear the false accusation of commercial use or, alternatively, any means of contacting TV (with regards to this issue) to see if they've even gotten the form into a queue of some kind?

    As of right now, I'm not even getting the 5 minute connection the application states I'll get.  It cuts the connection in a minute or two every time I've tried, making it wholly unusable.  And, yes, I've timed it.

    another update:  I can not start a TV session, however, I can log on to a TV another computer starts and it works fine.  So the problem is just with this computer starting a TV Session.

    I am having the same issue today, but I think might have started yesterday. I am the tech support person for my friends and family, so I have 14 computers in my connections list. I am NOT using TeamViewer for commercial purposes.

    I had the block removed last October, about 1 month after submitting one form for my main computer out of 4 using TV.

    BUT... ever since, each time I start TV, it pops up a nag screen basically telling me it doesn't trust that I'm only using it for personal use, and why don't I pony up. Then it allows me to use it without any restriction. It's not nice using software that tells me it suspects me of cheating every time I use it.

    And no, I don't use it commercially, just to save me running from room to room, and to give me access to home computers when I'm on vacation.

    +++ for AD mentioned above. Faster connect than TV. Just swapped to it today. No ragrets.

    A really good way of **bleep**ing off your users is by destroying their faith in your product. Super well done. Kudo's for your amazing work at losing 50% of your users due to a bug in the software, and your unwillingness to fix it in a timely manner. Whatever shall we do... Oh, I know, there are several

    Good luck finding a new product :) if you're smart... 

     

    Very Nice ...

    I am getting sick of this commercial use **bleep**.

    I have six of my PCs at home on TeamViewer. They are at home, all run Windows 10 Home or Pro, and connect to my router on FiOS. I have only used Teamviewer for personal use. Yet I keep getting this **bleep** about commercial use. Why the heck do they keep saying that when I have always used it for personal use. What **bleep** thinks I'm using it for commercial use?

    Yeah - I also just switched to “third party product “.
    Very poor decision by Teamviewer to start this fake detecttion of commercial use.

    Thanks. I'll need to look at “third party product “. At this point almost anything would be better than TeamViewer. Since they have no clue how to properly identify commercial use.
    All my use has been personal use, from my personal PCs. Nothing they have in their FAQ about commercial use applies to me. Yet they keep erroneously saying I'm using Teamviewer commercially. Hopefully “third party product “ has people programming their software that actually know what they are doing.

    Hello,

    I've been using TeamViewer for years to check my personal emails when I'm on holidays and away from my desktop.

    But for whatever reason today my TeamViewer keeps disconnecting after a little bit and tells me that this session was sponsored by teamviewer.com. Then it won't let me connect again for a few minutes. I think that it thinks I am using it commercially?

    But I have a personal license already. I really don't know what to do?

    Can you please help?

     

    Thank you!

    Terrible rollout of this commercial use police state.  Too bad you did not see how **bleep** this would turn out for your personal use support base.  **Third Party Product** at [removed per Community Guidelines] is looking pretty good to me right now.

    Posted here a few days ago saying I had been falsely accussed of commercial use. Have now switched to another solution and delted my TeamViewer account.

    I can't understand why people try to stick with them when it takes days or weeks to get your accounts reinstated. Life is too short - move on -:)
