I have to explain the state of acceptable use to a license holder. Please see if you can follow my logic and insert your IMHO addendums anywhere for clarification and exceptions.
Premium License allows for 1 user to be logged in using the license to any/all devices by the 9 digit assignment code that is given to a device when Team Viewer is installed to a device.
When the licensed user is logged in, that user can log into any device and "invite" a non licensed user to "join" a meeting via a meeting code. (Does inviting a "free user" to continue to use their "free user" profile and not block them from connecting to their own computers that are in their "free user" account?
If a current "user" updates their FREE version with the key, that local machine "9 number code" is held in Team Viewer servers as "belonging to the license" and if a free user logs into that machine, that user number is "known" by Team Viewer as belonging to that USER.
So, follow the logic.
1. If you are a free license user, do not use your local machine to "log in" to a remote device with your current "free license" or both get added to TEAM VIEWERS logged list of devices that are assigned. You will get a "buy a license warning". If you use your free account to log into a machine that is in a "licensed user" list of devices, you may lose the opportunity to use your "free use" license anywhere else. I'm not sure if there is a fix for this.
2. (this part is only "understood" by me as the case, I have not verified this clearly through support) If you need to get onto a machine that is assigned to a licensed user, have the licensed user invite you to a meeting so that (a) you are not trying to use a single channel license and (b) you are not having your local machine 9 digit number grabbed and then "placed into the licensed users list of computers" assigned to that "user".
So far so good? Anyone can add to this.
