I have just upgraded my free Teamviewer in my second desktop inhouse, but now cannot connect. Every attempt comes back with timeout with message the free version does not allow multiple logins. Gives a stand down time, but wont allow even after stand down is expired?

Hello @GeorgyTomsky,

there are many features that are only included in a paid plan. For example the

However, when it comes to purely remote control, it is the exact same software.

More about the free version here:

or here:

I hope this could help. 😊

If not, do not hesitate to ask your questions here. 👇

What are the limitations of the free version?

I have downloaded the free version for what I believe to be personal use, although it is work related and connected to a work computer. At work, the administrator does not see the use of remote access to be beneficial to the company, but I believe that having remote access gives me better range of performing my job. While at home, it would allow me to catch up on some tasks that might not have gotten done while on the clock. Since I would be doing this on personal time and only accessing one computer, would this still be considered private use? I would understand if it does not fall within private use, but surely hope that it might.

TeamViewer disconnects too frequently while assisting our mobile user. 10 disconnections in 5 minutes.

Internet service is ok in both ends already tested.

Both the iPhone and the PC is in the latest version. 15.20.6

Hello Esther

It appears you are the only person who may be an actual employee of Teamviewer?

Would you please explain to all of us why we can't use the free version?

Has something changed with regards free use?

Nope, I've tried that several times, and I've confirmed my account is accepted as a non commercial account. I only use it to support 2 relatives and a family friend, and all my ID have been provided. Not entirely sure why I popped back here really, other than I found the tab still sitting there when I was having a clear up and thought I'd see if things had improved. I was forced to give up some time ago as I just couldn't spare the time and needed a reliable product. End result, I use a competitor's product now and if / when I need a commercial offering (I work in IT) TeamViewer is no longer on the list for consideration or recommendation. The free version is no longer a lost leader, just lost!

I am an amateur radio operator. I am not a business and do not use TeamViewer in or as commercial use. It is illegal for amateur radio operators to use the hobby for making money. I use TeamViewer as a method to help senior limited sighted radio operators maneuver amateur radio software from my personal home radio room. I or my account for some reason has been flagged as commercial use and this is incorrect. Please let me know what I need to do to prove this is true so I can get back to provide the free service several of my elder club members have come to rely on.

I've been categorize by teamviewer as a corporate or business user although I am and individual user with multiple computers. Can some one tell me how to make the necessary notifications to let Teamviever know this and not withdraw my free status.

As Teamviewer cannot be reached, I did a search in Google and found this:

Good luck.

I only use Teamviewer to connect to family and friends to assist them with issues. Lately, I have noticed I get disconnected after about 10 seconds with "Your Teamviewer session has timed out and will be closed". When I try to reconnect, I get "Connection blocked after timeout" Your license limits the maximum session duration to a partner....."

I get no errors about commercial use, only the above.

All devices have the latest version of Teamviewer as well.

Any ideas?

Hi we have house moving companies in harrogate and we provide solution to our costumer online and offline. i want to add teamviewer in my website so we can communicate with our costumer easily. is this option available ?

Butersch

when does it happen?

it happened with me by installing a cleaning software on my phone because my phone was quite slow and after that Teamviewer started behaving like this

sfrjoe

I am another who receives the message "Cannot connect timeout". I use the free version to assist an old friend. Very frustrating. It appears Teamviewer is unavailable unless you are a subscriber.

I shall try to find another more generous provider as I am frustrated with the lack of support from Teamviewer. Version 15.

I thought Teamviewer was supposed to be free for private use. I only ever use it when I travel to connect to home. However on several occasions it has locked me out as I am supposedly a 'commercial user'. This latest event did connect me to the Declaration Form which I had to sign and return. Hard to do when you are away from home and cut off! (I have previously signed and submitted a form).

And unfortunately, I note that the post I am responding to has not been answered so I assume that Teamviewer don't bother to look at these posts?

It's a great program but I am disappointed at the procedures required in these 'evalutions' leave one up a creek without a paddle (and disconnected!)

Maybe it's not free at all??

I'm in the exact same situation!

I used TVFree for several years to help my technology challenged mom and sisters with their PC snags and updates. Between them and my kids with multiple devices I had about 10 PC's in my registered devices list. I only used TVFree once or twice a month at most, but never had time limits imposed.

It's been a while since I needed to help anybody, but I just logged in to TVFree to help my inlaws and it displayed the message:

"Your current TeamViewer plan does not include connections to customized TeamViewer modules. Your session will therefore be terminated after a short time. Please upgrade to a higher plan to use this functionality."

And it kept timing out in just a few minutes, RIGH IN THE MIDDLE of a critical transaction ; /

Whats changed Team Viewer! PLEASE explain and hopefully HELP RESOLVE this lame restriction.

rangerpaul

I've updated to version 15 as it asked but still shutting off after 5 minutes

BazzaMiff

I am using the free version and it is timing out after about 30 seconds and will not let me log back in. I am only using it to log into my 92y Dad's computer to help with emails and such so do not need a commercial licence. It has always work fine for this and this problem started about a month ago so have not been able to help him. Can anyone shed so light on why it is now timing out.

cheers

I'm using Teamviewer for years but in particular since I moved from Germany to Australia in 2017. Since then I'm on the computer every day to order food and medicals for my mother (82) in Germany online through a computer I installed there for her. This is essential for her to get supplies in particular during these days with COVID19! Suddenly my application has been locked and I can't access my computer in Germany any longer. My mother cannot run the machine but trusts and fully depend on me to log in as I used to do for recent years. Since you disabled my access, I can't reach her anymore and urgently ask to unlock my application of Teamviewer.

Again, it's a totally private use and not for business but it is urgent and essential for the safety, wellbeing and supplies for my mother at the age of 82 years back in Germany!

My brother and I manage our 90 year old mother's laptop using TeamViewer remote desktop. She lives alone and is very hard of hearing so the laptop is the only way myself, my brother and a few of her friends can keep in touch with her.

In the last month or so when we try to connect to her laptop after around a minute or so the session terminates.

We are desperate to find a fix to this problem. I managed to update my mother and our version of TeamViewer to the latest version. (That involved some fast interaction on my mother's laptop to update before the session terminated.)

Have tried to contact TV support using an old support email address but that failed. And when I click on the Submit a ticket option I get sent to this community support space.

How do we get in touch with TeamViewer support to help resolve this issue?

We use have a non-commercial license which Christian at TeamViewer approved back in 2018. Both my brother and I do not live near our mother to be able to visit and fix problems - in my case I am 11,000 miles away!

Cheers

May be someone from TeamViewer monitors this forum and can help us out.

Hello, everyone,

I have just found how to bypass the disconnect problem, I am using the TeamViewer for a long time and still using it for free 😁

The solution is to renew your ID 😎

Let me know if anyone needs help.
