Commercial use - Connection time outAnnounced

Every time I try to log in to my remote computer it let me get to it and then quickly "times" me out then says I have exceeded the time allowed but I was only on for 10 seconds. I have had a friend turn it off and back on for me (in FL I am in GA) and that did not clear it ?

I find it very difficult to survive from month to month.

I am a senior citizen and need the free version of team viewer.

Your system does not have a free version of team viewer any more Why is this because it will not allow me to download anything. I am always broke I can not afford to pay every single month.

Same problem here with Windows 10 - Tried with different computers

Hi, am using the free personal version of Teamviewer to log in to my personal raspberry pi's, for some reason this week my connection seems to be getting blocked, and am receiving the below message. sometimes it lets be log in for less than a minute and then kicks me out.

can you please support me? I thought Teamviewer was free for personal use.

"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 07:49."

Me too, it has started recently, its almost like its a bug in the system somewhere

Note: I am using the Free for Personal Use version of TeamViewer.  I am NOT using the Commercial version.  And yet, my post was MERGED in with "Commercial use - Connection time out".

I’m using TeamViewer Free, Version 15.16.8 (32-bit) with Windows 10 Pro (Version 20H2).

I bought a new HP Omen laptop computer (Model No. 15-ek0xxx) and installed TeamViewer Free. Everything worked perfectly. After a little over two months, I bought a SECOND identical HP OMEN laptop computer because I liked the first one so much.

To save time setting up the second computer, I used Macrium Reflect software to CLONE a backup of the first HP OMEN onto the second HP OMEN.

After making some adjustments to the sign-ins on the second HP-OMEN computer, everything worked perfectly on BOTH computers. That is, EXCEPT for TeamViewer.

The computer is only able to connect to another computer for a few seconds, and then experiences a “Session Timeout!” error. Subsequent attempts to reconnect fail with a “Connection blocked after timeout” error. See the screen captures.

I believe the problem is that both computers now have the SAME “TeamViewer ID”. A TeamViewer ID is a unique numeric ID assigned to each device when TeamViewer is installed.  This ID is designed not to change and should remain constant even if the software is uninstalled and reinstalled.

The problem persists even if one of the laptop computers is turned OFF.

How can I wipe out the TeamViewer ID on the second computer, and reinstall a fresh new copy of TeamViewer?

Or, is my problem caused by something else, and requires a different solution?

Note that TeamViewer does continue to work perfectly on my OTHER personal computers. The only problem is with the two new laptops: the original and the clone.

Thanks for your help!

I have about 5 computers that I remote into so I do not have to have multiple monitors and KVM switch, etc. Today when I tried to remote in, it rejected my connection citing some "License limits the maximum duration"

I have not used Teamviewer in several days, and I only use it on my personal devices. Why is this happening?

Thanks in advance!

same problem today (4/24) and I get an error message that then says I'm blocked. I uninstalled and reinstalled the program but I'm still getting timed out after a minute and then blocked from trying again. I've never had this problem before but now several people have complained in the past couple of days to TeamViewer has obviously done something or has a problem. Time to move on?

Same. I hope it is a massive bug. iOS to a Windows machine, my maximum session duration gets reached in about 60 seconds and then the message says it will stop blocking 1 minute from now, but still blocks after that. I am forced to press "more info" to dismiss the popup and I am instead thanked for upgrading to business, but I am not.

The website seems to have no information about the details or limitations or terms of the free license that I've used mildly for something like 10 years and I've never bumped into a limitation or block. I don't know what the limitations are so I don't know how to stay within them.

I'm frustrated with:

-The sudden change from being useful to acting like I am infringing something.

-Being unable to find information and no way to contact.

-No option to pay an amount that is inline with the value they offer me. I average <4 hour of usage per year.

How can I and Teamviewer be happy? I want this relationship to work.

This has become widespread. Used to be resolved easily with an email but now I get no response.

Same here. Frustrating.

I am getting the same - how can this be permanently fixed? - i am using for private only, not commercial

Hello,

My Team Viewer session keeps timing out. how can this be fixed?

Thanks.

I have the same problem. But it's impossible to contact Team viewer technical support to resolve it. Probably best to find another app, as Team viewer don't want to support free version users.

I keep getting timeouts because it now says it’s commercial use, which it isn’t, and never has been. This issue has been so difficult to resolve and I can’t connect to my friends.

Any help would be appreciated.

Why am I continually being blocked from using my free version for personal use only?

Same here. Happened in November 2020. Filled out an email and listed systems on my account. The computers were verified and connected after that. Worked until I tried to use Teamviewer to connect my mothers computer to Zoom for her 100th birthday 03/31/2020. Teamviewer timed out before I could get her into the session. Submitted another letter saying I was not a commercial user and it was changed to a free license again. Now I'm at my mother's and can't connect to my home computer. I would appreciate an email telling me WHY I keep having my license reviewed or changed. I only use Teamviewer among family and I do not receive any payment from any source for using Teamviewer.

same here, trying to help my 90 year old father with a computer issue and can't because of this. Very frustrated with TeamViewer.

Same for me, trying to remote in from my hotel to my home computer and got this. Glad it wasn't something I was doing. I did pop on my NordVPN just because I am on the hotel wifi but wasn't sure if that did it.

Having the same problem with the free version.

I was going to tell you to remove your phone number from the post, but I see it goes to the American Indian Museum for Genocide.. interesting post.

Same here. I am out of town and tried remoting into my home computer to check an email and after 10 seconds I got the message I was blocked from the account and can't login for 10 minutes.
