Normally, when you are limited to 5 minutes, they are serious about that. After 5 minutes of connect, you have to wait another 5 minutes before reconnecting for another 5 minutes.

I recommend AnyDesk. I have used it to support remote systems and it works well. It also allows unlicensed remote access with a password. I haven't had to pay a dime.

Create a new account, new name, new email...How did you get flagged? Any idea? I'd like to know...

Donna is correct.
I have never had issues with team viewer.
But if you are flagged as a commercial user , You probably would play hell to correct it.
Begging for forgiveness.

Just create another account.

I'm bringing this subject back up because my original issues went away on their own. Maybe my correspondence with them, though never answered, led them to release my free account. I wasn't having any issues until now. I have a PC at home that runs XP-SP3 specifically for older phone/voice mail system programming tools. I remote into it frequently even though it's just down the hall. Anyway, I started receiving warnings that the TV version on that PC was outdated, although when I attempt to update it, I'm told that I'm running the most current version. I even went as far as to uninstall it from the XP PC and reinstall, but instead of the newer version 15, it sends me back to version 14 that is supposedly outdated. For this, I'm limited to five minutes per session. As usual, their support people don't answer any help requests.

Any ideas or suggestions as to what I can do? 90% of what I use TV for is helping my relatives with their computer issues. That's what TV says the free version is supposed to be used for. I'm really not interested in starting over with something else if I can avoid it since my relatives are scattered all over the place. If I have to help them with their AOL issues, I sure can't count upon them to install something new.

I didn't know you were related to my sister!

It could just the fact that it is XP.
It has been EOL for many years.
Even though it is a stable OS.

You say you use TV to connect to it from something else.
Whatever that is does the other PC work okay?
What is the OS on that machine?

I am on win 10 now but I have never had issues with Teamviewer.
But I do not connect to xp machines anymore.

I have a mix of devices, although most that I use Teamviewer for are Windows 10. I do access some Windows 7 computers for my parents, etc. with no issues. It's only this one XP machine that is timing out after a five-minute session. Like I said, they say it's an outdated version of Teamviewer, but when I go to upgrade it, it says that I'm using the most current version and no upgrade is available. Of course, they never reply to my help request messages.

Probably like Firefox. The current version you download for XP is special and hasn't changed in a long time. It will tell you that you are using the most current version too. It isn't the same as the versions for 7 and 10 which are still being updated and upgraded. (I refuse to recognize that disaster they called Windows 8. )
