Hi,

- Can I get free version of MSI package ?
- Please can you also provide step by step guide to deploy the package silently using GPO.
What's your environment?
You can't get a free version of the msi so you'll have to install on all your computer's manually. If this is an issue convince your boss to buy the corporate license or look at another piece of software.
but you will be able to use the reg patch domain wide without issue
it must have paid MSI packages

to silently install, run

msiexec.exe /i "\\domain\folders\TeamViewer_Host.msi" ALLUSERS=1 /q /norestart
Please have a look at the first post in this thread http:#a39781390. The attached PDF has step by step instructions for deploying the msi and how to obtain the reg file. Just be sure to make note of the fact for both 32 and 64 bit systems as they'll require different reg files.
You don't need to do as limjianan has said. It will be a silent install if pushed through GPO.
Hi,

Thanks. Where I can get the msi package for test purpose.

Thanks
You can't. You need to login using the license code they give you.
How many pcs are we talking here?
800-900 Computers

Thanks
And your company doesn't have the money to pay for it?
You should read the licence terms for use of the software as it's free only for personal use
Its not about the money.

We want to test it first prior the deployment.
So install it on five or six computers and test it. You don't need the msi for that.
I have First hand experience that the msi and reg setup detailed in the attached pdf above work and work well in a domain environment.
Test the software but the deployment is straight forward
Otherwise look at some alternatives

The issue is teamviewer keeps track of your usage and connections. They'll just end up blocking you as has happened to me in the past
If you don't have the right license with them.
Just an alternate suggestion.

Would Windows Remote Assistance work for you?  It's already built into to Windows.  http://www.ehow.com/how_5962990_do-up-use-remote-support_.html

http://www.windowsnetworking.com/articles-tutorials/windows-xp/wxprmass.html

I have set up port forwarding for myself to access work systems remotely and used the built-in tools more frequently.  It's a little more work initially, but saves the company money, especially when they don't want to spend it.  Some places I've worked with previously, especially the heavily unix centric ones, have also had TeamViewer banned as a security measure.  I've had to work around it or do without.
This link explains how to convert the teamviewer.exe package to msi and how to deploy silently throughout the domain.

for $399 I would just approach Teamviewer...
put it this way, teamviewer has a 7 days money back guarantee program.
ask them for one and within 7 days, you should sort out your work.
Ok. Which license I should go for ?
I need to deploy on around 800-900 computers. The clients will have only support version and can't take control
and we around 20 administrators.

Thanks
Let's go for Corporate licence.

so this is how the deal. it is on how many active concurrent administrator you need to support.

you can always start with 3 administrators and if you need more concurrent administrators, just pay the addon.

Hi,

I have got a trial corporate license and that enabled me to download msi package.

I have deployed team viewer on test pc's using GPO with customized settings. Its working fine.
And it will until the Trial runs out. When you set up the msi, it will deploy with that license.

When the trial runs out you'll be prompted to upgrade. Been there done that. There was a grace period or warning when it was close to expiry but you'll be forced to buy it outright or uninstall it
Belive it I changes the date on the pc to next 6months buy didn't receive any licence error.

However we will purchase the lic.
Changing the date won't trigger it :-). They have a record of when your trial started and will notify you accordingly. Remember all your clients are connected to their server at all times and you connect to your clients through their server (direct ip connections are possible but the default is via their server)
Well we are using LAN connections and no internet on these clients PC's :)
Sounds good then. I'm just giving you the heads up. Go ahead and close the question
We purchased the Corporate Licence and we deployed to all domain computers using GPO with customized settings.

Thanks
