Question Trying to prevent TeamViewer from saying "Commercial Use Detected"

I'm trying to connect my phone to my laptop back at the place I'm staying at and unfortunately it tells me that there is "Commercial Use Detected" and then it quits me out after 5 minutes and doesn't let me reconnect until after a long time later. I've been using TeamViewer for over a decade and I've never had this problem. I tried reinstalling the software on both devices as well as trying to reclaim the free version on their website. Unfortunately when that happened they got back to me and said that they cannot confirm that my ID is being used privately. They also encouraged me to purchase a license in order to get it working, and I've never had to pay for TeamViewer in all the years I've used it.



If someone could help me get TeamViewer to work again on the free version I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks in advance!

I gave up on TeamViewer several years ago, for exactly this.

Connecting between my main PC and HTPC, 15 feet apart...."Commercial Use"
This came and went, until I just got tired of it.

Currently using TightVNC.
