I stream my desktop via lan ( 1 gbit) in best quality with nearly no delay. Since it's three monitors it's a resolution of 4424x900. HD videos playong smoothly (1080p. Which result in 900p) . CPU burst is about 50 %on one core of the host ( and phenom II x4 @ 3 ghz) and about 90% on one core of the client ( Intel core2duo t7200 @ 1.8ghz). Just one thing could be better: there isn't a possibility to look at a specific screen. It's always the whole desktop. Hope they will implement this function soon

Clicked OK. It'll appear next time.

But if they're noting that is in fact free for personal use, why would they feel the need to put that message? They sort of treat you as if you're not supposed to be using it the way you just were.
That message appears after every session when using the free version. The obvious way to get rid of it is to buy a license for the professional version.
Another member posted that if you delete or rename the following file, it will get rid of it, but I haven't tested it.
/Applications/TeamViewer.app/Contents/Resources/MessageBox.nib
It's not indicating that you shouldn't be using it. It's simply stating that it's free for personal use.
Yeah, it's like a TOS reminder, but do we need to be reminded every session? It's a bit too much like a shareware nag screen.

Since you are using NoMachine, can you comment on the "personal cloud" function?
Thank you. I'll try and let you know.
Not that I hate to pay for it. I just don't want to pay for it for *this* reason.
I notice every time I ran TeamViewer, Time Machine will report more-than-usual space to back up. I guess it's TeamViewer session file.
Where is this session file (so I can exclude it)? Normally it would be more than a gig. I don't want to waste that on both Mac everyday on Time Capsule.

saved password without TeamViewer running all the time
I played around with TeamViewer (full version) extensively yesterday.
I figured out that you can configure it so that you have a permanent (and highly secure) password configured on the remote computer without needing to leave TeamViewer running all the time in the background (as a service).
The way to do this is to set up unattended access (configure your own custom password) and UNcheck the start with system option in the preferences. This way TeamViewer only runs when needed instead of all the time, but never requires the remote person to give me any codes.
One thing though, it crashed several times while setting up the preferences and configuring things. Once you get everything set though, it seems very stable.
For anyone using a Mac to Mac connection, another alternative is the screen sharing function of Messages which seems to work well and is extremely simple to use provided you already have Messages configured and working on both Macs.

Since I only use this to control my Mac mini HTPC which runs the same Apple ID as my MacBook, I'm now exclusively using Back To My Mac which has the best performance IMO. I reserve TeamViewer for only when I log in from my iPad.
You can try using GoSupportNow remote support tool. It is easy to use and works on both MAC and Windows computers.
