Key notes
If you’re a TeamViewer user, and you encounteredyour license limits the maximum session duration to a partnererror message, also known ascommercial use detected or suspected, you’re in luck.
The error mostly appears because TeamViewer is free for personal use only, not commercial use. This means that you can help your loved ones, or use it to access your own devices.
If the program’s algorithm considers that you violated the free-of-use agreement, it will give you this error and your session will end.
A random Reddit user complained about the following problem on thesoftware’s subreddit:
Just got this error (detail below) shortly after trying to reconnect to my mom’s laptop. We’re on a free personal license. I had been connected to her laptop for only a minute before that and then she brought something else up so I tried to reconnect and got this error.
It seems that the program might glitch and think that you are trying to use it unconventionally, resulting in you being stuck with the same error message and unable to use it.
It seems that more and more people are affected by these issues. Some users came to the conclusion that TeamViewer’s detection algorithms are getting more aggressive to push sales.
How do I fix the TeamViewer maximum session duration error?
1. Uninstall TeamViewer and reinstall it again.
The first thing that you should try is a free reinstallation of TeamViewer. This will work if the program glitched or bugged out, and requires a bit of work.
2. Switch to a third-party remote control software
