Roger -- I think (no, I KNOW) the new TeamViewer mgmt approach is to
lock us out to try and get us to upgrade. I tell you...sometimes it
seems very shady. Then the TV people send you the automated email
saying something like "you were trying to access another session but
your license only allows you to do 1 at a time" (or something like
that)....which is CRAP, imo, because before they changed to the annual
subscription model, I was able to open sessions to different clients
simultaneously without issue. Again...shady, imo.
As such, they're pissing me off to the point I'm considering dumping
them...but alas, I haven't yet because, well, I already paid for this
perpetual license!!!!! :D

I have used TV for some time now however lately it is locking me out
from some clients. I have also been searching for an alternative, I
have found Cloud Berry and it seems to work without having the clients
do dances to get it to run. If anyone has a better solution please
let me know.
thanks in advance.

I bought a TeamViewer (TV) license a few years back and it's the
purchased one-and-done lifetime license. TeamViewer's business model
has changed and they've been pushing annual licenses now for over a
year. I like my TV license and it works great for me; I don't see
the need to upgrade to the latest. That said, I wondered if others
are using another tool they enjoy and isn't expensive. Prior to TV,
I used to use LogMeIn (LMI) but then their licensing prices went up too.
What's your current remote support tool of choice (other than
UltraVNC etc. I wasn't a fan of VNC as YES, IT WORKED, but it wasn't
as easy and user-friendly as TV or LMI. My clients on the other end
of the support connection are NOT tech folks. I needed it to be
super simple and that's what TV/LMI gave me.
