Very useful. It even was enough to remove the registry entry and the appdata-folder

Thanks

Hi, this method doesn’t work on Windows Vista. Do you know of a reliable method to do this on Vista?

Hi. I’ve been able to do all the steps, but couldn’t change the MAC address on Vista SP1 nor SP2. I tried deactivating the UAC feature but still didn’t let me change the MAC addr. I’ve tested several programs to change it, from the page you referenced and alsowith the Techinitium MAC Changer, but Windows Vista seems to don’t obey to them.Any ideas?

Well, MAC addr couldn’t be changed but the folder and registry entries were deleted, and the program still remained blocked. The method worked fine on Windows XP, but for some reason on Windows Vista have probably recorded another registry key or something we are missing.
Note that I’ve tested this with the last version of Teamviewer. This reset method works on Win XP, but not under Win Vista.

Not worked in winvista Home Premium Sp1

thanks

Thanks a lot Gautam!

a simple solution, worked out for me
infact TV is one of the important tool i use

Fantastic. I actually have a real commercial licence but when I clone workstations the ID gets cloned too. By removing hklm/software/teamviewer and the %appdata% I can reset the ID. That’s a lot. Beforehand I always had to uninstall / reinstall tv.

It’s simple for me. Maybe all of you can try this :
1. Remove Teamviewer, delete folder Teamviewer
2. Delete Registry
3. Change MAC by RightClick on MyComputer -> Manage -> Device Manager -> Network Adappters -> Right Click on you NIC , choose Properties -> Advanced -> Click Choose “Network Address” -> Type 12digit in Value box (Ex : 001A3F25454E) -> OK -> Disable and Enable you NIC in Network Connections . Now your MAC was changed.
4. Re setup Teamviewer and Enjoy it now .

Good luck !!!

Hi there,
I recently used Teamviewer to resolve a programming problen with some expert or the other. I was the payer of course.
Can you tell me how we know whether the “expert” is abusing your system thereby making me part of the problem.
I paid him 40$ and after the finish a screen came up saying something like “thank you for not taking advantage”….or something similar

Hi! I have a friend who downloaded TV but during installation forgot to choose the “non-commercial option” and now the program has expired. I gave her the instructions found here (to delete the TV folder from the appdata and to delete it from the registry) But when she re-installed it again, it told her that it has expired and gave her the same ID number she had before. I wonder if there is any other registry key where TV version 5 checks the expiry date.

@Gautam
Hello. Did you solved the problem of “commercial use suspected” on Vista?
I’m having that issue on Windows 7, but I think the solution for Vista will work fine for Win7 too.
I do everything fine 100% sure. Delete TV folder from appdata, delete registry entries, change MAC with SMAC, start TV. But the ID stays the same, and the problem doesn’t vanish.
I tried almost everything – I restarted system after cleaning the registry, I cleaned registry of ALL teamviewer entries, I searched ALL hard drives for teamviewer directories and nothing – teamviewer ID stays the same.
On XP this solution works great, but somehow on Win7 (and Vista as stated above by Marcelo) it doesn’t.

@Mathiu
Hi there, I’m actually using TV4 to conenct one computer running Vista SP2 with XP SP3, and the Windows Vista based didn’t let me change the MAC Addr by no way. I tried too many ways, even uninstalling TV and (trying to) change the MAC and finally TV is working with no restriction. I don’t know if I’m lucky because I do use it to send my homework from the office to my house, but it stays connected ok. I think TV may be probably counting how many remote ID have you being connecting to.

There is a free substitute for Teamviewer that is Ammyy Admin, download from http://www.ammyy.com .

Just like TeamViewer, your host connects to an echo server and receives an ID. Enter it into your client id window and click connect. Like TeamViewer, all communications are fully encrypted.

Hello want to use TV 5 on Vista with life time.. after 30 days it gets xpired plz suggest me something.. i w8ng for this kind of trick or resseter plz help me out for this crack if anyone knows plz mail me or just reply me once.. ill be very much glad.. to have this.. thkns lot ..

Sam same issue with windows 7 and TV5. I can no longer use TV at all, even with the tips listed in the OP.

I am on Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit

What did I have to do:
I use TeamViewer Portable
- Changed MAC address of my “default” LAN (randomly generated with MacMakeUp)
- Disabled Sun VirtualBox “VirtualBox Host-Only Network”
- Installed a newer version of Sun VirtualBox
- Opened TeamViewer and got a new ID (didn’t need to touch the registry or the %appdata% folder because of the Portable ed I use)

The new TeamViewer doesn’t check only one Network connection but more if available, try to play with other connections and reopen TV to see a different ID.

hi,
any body connect on my pc
my
id and password is
id. (605 379 950)
password. (8939)

Hi Experts,
I used TV for a long time and followed the same instructions one of my friend systems. Its works perfectly. I find another tool also called Perfect Uninstaller. I am not sure how the tool will work on Team viewer License issue. I think it remove all the registry keys created by TV.

hope this helps.

you can build your own Remote-Solution with Open Source Programs take a look at:

i installed the trial version of the team viewer setup5 in my system. after finished the trial period i can not uninstall that software. now i can not use team viewer. what can i do to uninstall the old one.

guys ..i got the solution and its working fine for me …commercial use suspects …waived off guyss ..its works a whole

change you devices make address and please use portable team viewer version

http://devices.natetrue.com/macshift/

follow the instructions …from the website …happy connecting …

Like one other person who left a comment, I mistakenly checked the “both” business & personal during setup. I’m a real estate agent. I’m thinking such use might still qualify as “personal”. But now I’m locked out. Will this process work to reset to personal use?

Gautam :
@Default – Thanks. But I hope this method is not used otherwise, where people actually use it for commercial purpose and try to save their skin. Teamviewer is one of the best in it’s niche and I totally respect what their product.

I have a different problem. When I run Teamviewer5 from a VirtualBox XP session, I can connect to remote computers but they can’t connect to me. My computer is running Linux and my only way to run Teamviewer is in a VBox session.

Since we started using a proxy server at work (zscaler), I am unable to get teamviewer portable to connect to my home pc. Theres a place to enter the proxy information manually, but I have no idea of what the IP address or port are. Any suggestions on getting around this? I am using version 4x.

Thanks

I use TV 5 on Vista SP1 and have problem commercial use suspect .I already sent email to TV , do not have reply .Did any body solve this problem. Pls help.
Thanks

@Marcelo
Work fine in Windows7 (Similar to Windows Vista).

Remember to run the change mac address program with Admin privlg.

I never knew that, I still prefer mstsc.exe and rdesktop over teamviewer as it goes to a third-party.

@default
if go though given step ,that problem is solve?

For me, the following steps helped to eliminate the Commercial Use Suspected issue on Windows 7 x64 Enterprise:

1. uninstall Teamviewer 5
2. delete the teamviewer folder in the %appdata% directory
3. opening regedit and deleting everything that contains the word ‘teamviewer’ (hitting F3 to search for the next string)
4. opening device manager to change the last character of the NIC’s MAC
5. reboot and verifying that the mac indeed has been changed using the getmac command
6. reinstall teamviewer 5

Now I no longer receive the warning.

great great great great

Sorry but i use that metod one time and perfect but in this time don´t work wthat happend? anyone can help me

I am facing “Commercial Use Suspected” problem on Win XP.
Can anyone tell me how to delete the registry entries. I am not able to delete them.

Hi, I am using team viewer, but now it is showing “Commercial Use Suspected” and i usally get only 45 sec session. I have tried all tak tiks as mentioned above but problem still persist…

Plz help me out!!!!!!!!.

Using TeamViewer 5 on two computers, with both running Windows XP (one computer has XP Home and the other has XP Media Center). My partner can remotely see and control my desktop, but I can’t see my partner’s desktop. At start up of TV, my partner’s computer sometimes flashes a warning about a proxy server, but it quickly vanishes before it can be read completely. Our computers are located in our two homes. We use different internet providers (both high speed). How can I reverse this situation, so that I can see and control my partner’s desktop.

No I haaven’t tried it. But I will try to figure out how to do it.
Thank you.
