One common mistake most people commit while installing Teamviewer on their system is that, they forget to select the option ‘For Personal Use’ and instead install with the default option ‘For Commercial Use’. As a result teamviewer stops functioning after a couple of days from installation. Even though you are genuinely using it for personal use you’ll no longer be able to use Teamviewer.
Here’s a solution to fix this problem :
1> First uninstall the copy of Teamviewer from your system. This can be done with free uninstallers or by using Window’s default ‘Add or remove‘ program which can be found at: ‘Start’ –> ‘Settings’ –> ‘Control Panel’
2> Click on Start –> Run –> type %appdata% –> delete TeamViewer folder and also delete “C:\\Program Files\\Teamviewer”
3> Delete registry folder: hkcu/software/teamviewer and hklm/software/teamviewer
4> Refer to this tutorial to change the MAC Address: http://www.irongeek.com/i.php?page=security/changemac
5> Clean your systems registry – you can use a free registry cleaner for this purpose- https://techbuzz.in/how-can-i-clean-my-computer-registry-for-free.php
6> Once you have completely wiped out Teamviewer out of your system – install a fresh copy of Teamviewer. Ensure you select the option ‘Personal Use’ (I’m assuming that you are playing fair here) !

There is no folder of Teamviewer in the registry folder. What to do now ? Is the folder already deleted ?
Press windows key and letter r

Simply send an email to Teamviewer Technical Support @ support@teamviewer.com, explain the problem and request them to reactivate your teamviewer non-commercial program for free. That’s what I did and it works!

I’m using windows 8 and my teamviewer trial has expired. I have tried things above but still doesn’t work. How do I get the free license of teamviewer?
This is tutorial is working as of today. My operating system is Win7 Pro x64. I’m also going to put a plug in here for Ccleaner by piriform (just Google it)
I don’t use TeamViewer. I use GoSupportNow for remotely accessing computers. It costs only $19.95 / month.

Dear all,

Hi guys,
this guide is not valid for TeamViewer 8.
The Teamviewer remote server version 8 seems check user pubblic IP. If is it static is not possible bypass this problem. This is only my idea.
Unfortunately seem the unique way is the crack, but is not a good idea. I use Ammyy Admin now, but is not good as TeamViewer.
its not working and showing the same masge in window xp

— check this path (windows vista) and delete this folder (use unlocker software) then delete registry ,restart and install (don’t select run when installing)
@Matthew
Hahaha that was much easier then going tru all those steps.
all you have to do is request an extension of the trial, choose free for personal use and thats it
@Calvin
click start –> run –> click on edit –> scroll down to find( look for Team Viewer)press F3 for going next on the search(once you have deleted all that says Team Viewer, search for TV ,and delete everything that has TV(in the beginning). :)Just hope you don’t any wrong file.After that just reinstall TV you will have a new ID and 7days connection(If you installing Trial Version). Trial vision gives you unlimited connection time 😀
Thanks for this tip.
It works fine.
Thank you it work for me (Windows Server 2008 64bit)

How can i remove expired teamviewer in windows vista
You can do step 3 by doing the following:
Start – Run – type “regedit” and browse to the location Hkey Local User / Software / Teamviewer and then delete the folder.
I Did this tutorial without changing the mac on Windows 7 Professional. And it worked perfectly 🙂
Thank you very much!
Hi, how to do the step 3? Where should I go to delete the reg folder?
3> Delete registry folder: hkcu/software/teamviewer and hklm/software/teamviewer
one time but the second time don´t work whta happen
Does anyone know how to re-install but with personal use only on a MAC.
I have tried to remove the app and delete com.teamviewer.settings.plist file. Then re-install, but it still comes up pre-configured and I am not able to control the desktop from a remote site. What am I missing.
Do you happen to know how could this be done under 10.6?
cannot even change my mac address under 10.6.3
