I recently discovered a concerning issue related to the detection and removal of commercial use.
Clean Installation and Registry Cleanup
1. Uninstall TeamViewer completely from your computer.
2. Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box and type “regedit” to open the Registry Editor.
3. In the Registry Editor, navigate to the following location: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\TeamViewer.
4. Right-click on the “TeamViewer” folder and select “Delete” to remove it from the registry.
5. Restart your computer to ensure all changes are applied.
6. Download the latest version of TeamViewer from the official website and install it.
7. Launch TeamViewer and select “Personal / Non-commercial use” when prompted.
8. Log in with your TeamViewer account or create a new one if necessary.
9. You should now be able to use TeamViewer for personal purposes without any commercial use restrictions.
Altering MAC Address Technique
If you have been detected for commercial use on your home computer, one technique to fix and remove the detection is by altering your MAC address. This technique can help you bypass the commercial use restrictions imposed by certain software. To alter your MAC address, follow these steps:
1. Open the command prompt on your Windows operating system.
2. Type “ipconfig /all” and press Enter to view your current MAC address.
3. Note down the physical address listed under your network adapter.
4. Download a MAC address changer software from a trusted source.
5. Install and launch the software.
6. Enter the new MAC address you want to use.
7. Click “Apply” or “Change” to update your MAC address.
8. Restart your computer to apply the changes.
By altering your MAC address, you can potentially fix the commercial use detection issue and continue using the software without any restrictions.
