Yes how much are they asking for a licence. If companies made it relatively
cheap most of us would not mind paying really, the problem is that many
companies seem to want you to buy their things every year like some kind of
rental.

What alternatives to TeamViewer are people using?

I have been hit by their sudden "Commercial use suspected" even though I
only ever connect to one 86-year old friend. He and his wife have 3
Windows machines and he has just bought 2 old iMacs, and is trying to move
to Mac in spite of my protestations. Hence a flurry of connections.

Teamviewer has a form to fill in to protest private use, but here it just
leads to an error page. I found their forum, but all that reveals is a
huge thread full of similar complaints, so it looks as though the
Teamviewer free option is on the way out. They seem to be manually
deleting any references to rivals on the forum and also any email
addresses.

I still help a couple of commercial companies with their IT, but always in
person. I used to recommend TeamViewer, but having delved into the
shambles that is their web site, I now think the time has come to find an
alternative that works to access Windows and Macs.

Any suggestions gratefully received.
