I had to use TV professionally for a 1-day gig and they cancelled my connection because of commercial use. Sure, I thought I earn money with it it’s only fair if I paid. The cheapest plan available was for a year long license. I called the support asking if they offer a monthly subscription, which they didn’t. I ended up using RDP instead. If anyone asks me to use TV in the future, I will explain them how to setup an RDP connection instead.
- willis936 5y agoYep. The practice of spying on user behavior and phoning home is far past my line for acceptable software behavior. It doesn't matter if TV cost $0 or $10,000, it should not be used by anyone who respects their self.
- WithinReason 5y agoHow is TV better than RDP?
- k8sToGo 5y agoYou don't have to open up ports or use a VPN. TV also connects to the local session. So you can screen share basically.
- emsy 5y agoIt’s much easier to use for laypeople, works without special network settings and is cross platform. But since I work in tech this is usually not a problem (although there are exceptions).

- matheusmoreira 5y ago> they cancelled my connection because of commercial use How did they even know?
- Vrondi 5y agoThey cancelled mine because I connected to the same remote computer 3 times in one month. No, really. Cancelled for commercial use for repeatedly connecting to the same computer. Well, duh, what else would I want this software for? Thereafter, any time I re-installed Team Viewer, it would only work one time before telling me I was banned for commercial use.
