TeamViewer - remote computer control (video)
When working with the TeamViewer program (13 and earlier versions), the user may encounter a sudden message about the end of the trial period and exceeding the limit of working with the program. A similar message usually appears when choosing a commercial version of the product that requires its own paid activation. Let's consider how to remove the 5-minute limit in Teamviewer 13, and what tools will help us with this.
As you know, the TeamViewer program is designed to work on a remote computer, perform various technical operations on it, exchange files with it, make video calls, and so on.
The program assumes two versions of its use:
- Free version(non-commercial use mode). Designed for home use and connection to a small number of PCs;
- Paid (commercial) version. The number of connected PCs and the duration of sessions are unlimited.
The free version of the product has a hidden toolkit for checking the terms of its use. In particular, if the user works with a large number of connected machines, often and on a regular basis, then such verification utilities may consider such use as commercial. In this case, the program displays a message about the use of the product for commercial purposes, as a result of which the free session is limited to 5 minutes, and subsequent sessions can be carried out only after a certain time.
Some negligent users, when installing a program, immediately choose the commercial version of the product, after which they are surprised at the appearance of the corresponding restrictions. And the need to remove the five minute limit in Teamviewer 13.
TeamViewer ID - the main identifier of the product operation
The version of the program selected by the user during installation is tied to the "TeamViewer ID" - a unique identification number of the user's PC. When installing the program and connecting to the network for the first time, it receives its own unique ID number, which contains, among other things, information about the TeamViewer version on this PC. When changing the status of the program from free to commercial, the structure of the ID automatically changes, and it will be quite difficult to remove it from the PC in order to return to the free version.
User ID in TimViewer
The TeamViewer ID is generated based on several unique attributes, the most important of which may be:
- MAC address of your network card;
- VolumeID of the disk partition;
- Creation dates of the Program Files folder.
To return to the free version of the program, you should think about changing all three of the listed attributes.
How to remove the time limit in Teamviewer 13

Therefore, even if the tips below have helped many users, this does not mean that they will work in your case.
I will also warn you that since the following contains tips on changing the MAC address of the network card and the VolumeID of the disk, programs such as 1C Accounting may lose the license installed on them. Please take this into account when performing the following operations.

At the final stage of setting up a permanent password, remember your unique ID and, of course, your password.
After the settings described above, TeamViewer will not turn off when you click on the cross, but will simply minimize to the tray waiting for the connection.
Do not confuse a permanent password with one that is automatically generated.

Unfortunately, there are quite a few reasons for this, and it is not so easy to offer a universal way to solve the problem. But in this article, we will try to help you troubleshoot when TeamViewer does not connect to another user, gives a network error.
Working in TeamViewer
How to fix the problem will be described below, but now it’s worth telling how to connect to a computer through TeamViewer, because perhaps you are not doing it quite right, which is why problems arise.
So, to begin with, we launch the program itself, as a result, you should open a window in which your ID and password are indicated in the "Allow control" column, if this is not the case, then most likely you are on the wrong tab. At the top of the program, click on the "Remote Control" tab.
Next, in order to connect to another computer, you need to pay attention to the "Manage Computer" group. In it you should enter the ID of the computer to which you will connect, select the type of connection (remote or file transfer) and click the "Connect to partner" button. After that, a window will appear in which you must enter the password, it must be told to you by the user of another PC.
After all the steps taken, a connection should be established, and you will see the OS desktop to which you connected. If, after following this instruction, you did not achieve the desired result, then try to find a solution below in the text.
The first reason: the version of the program is outdated
The reason why TeamViewer does not connect to the remote PC may be an outdated version of the software. As you can easily guess, in order to fix the problem, you just need to uninstall the outdated version of the program, download the new one and install it.
After doing all these manipulations, try again - everything should work properly.
Second reason: firewall
For Windows users, TeamViewer does not connect to another PC also due to firewall issues. This system utility is able to block the program from accessing the Internet. To resolve this cause, follow these steps:
Sign in to the firewall. To do this, open the "Start" menu and click on the "Control Panel" button in it. In the panel, select the "Large Icons" display and select "Windows Firewall" from the list.
On the left sidebar, find the line "Allow an application or feature to interact with Windows Firewall" and left-click on it.
In the window that appears, you need to find the names of programs in the list and check the boxes in the "Public" column. More precisely, this process is shown in the image below.
After all the manipulations done, click the "OK" button to apply all the changes, and try to connect to the remote PC again. The problem of TeamViewer not connecting should go away.
Third reason: Internet connection problems
Knowing how to connect with TeamViewer to another computer, this is still not always possible due to network problems. There can be many reasons why your Internet is not working properly. The provider may be the culprit, or maybe it’s all due to a mechanical breakdown, it’s impossible to say for sure. Now we will tell you how to check the Internet connection on your computer to make sure whether it is a malfunction or not:
On the right side of the taskbar, click on the Internet connection indicator.
In the appeared small window it will be written whether there is an Internet connection or not.
Here is a simple two step guide. If something else is written instead of "Connected", then feel free to call the provider so that he tells you options for solving the problem.
Fourth reason: technical work
Continuing to understand the question of how to connect via TeamViewer to another PC if an error appears, we cannot ignore the presence of possible technical work on the program servers. To verify this, you just need to go to the developers' site - usually, when planned work is carried out, a mention of this hangs on the site. If this is true, then you just have to wait - by the way, the site may indicate the time of their approximate end.
Fifth reason: program failure
Having gone through all four possible causes of a malfunction in connecting the program, in the end we can only assume that the program itself is to blame. It is not known for certain why this happens and what is connected with it, but the "treatment" of such a problem is known. By the way, it is similar to the first reason: you need to completely uninstall the program, then download it again, be sure to from the official website of the developer, and install it back on your computer. After completing all these steps, try contacting another user again, this time everything should be successful.
Conclusion
So we have analyzed the five most popular reasons for which the program gives an error when connecting to another user. I would like to believe that some of them will help you, however, unfortunately, there is a possibility that there are much more reasons than were given in the article.
TeamViewer is a fairly popular software that allows you to remotely control another PC using one computer: install programs, download files and solve problems.
TeamViewer is free to use, but only if you use it for personal purposes. If you conduct commercial activities using this application, then you need to buy a license. But, even when using TeamViewer for personal purposes, many users are faced with such a problem as ending the session within 5 minutes after starting the program with a message about possible incorrect use - “Commercial use detected”.
The time limit when working in TeamViewer occurs when the program decides that it is being used for commercial purposes. Of course, it is best to purchase a license and forget about such a situation forever, but if you plan to use this software very rarely for personal purposes, then you can bypass the restriction.
