Compatibility limitsĪnyDesk offers a wide range of compatibility, though it is not perfect.

It should be noted that, while AnyDesk performs well in low-bandwidth situations, it can be somewhat frustrating to use on an unreliable connection. This TeamViewer support article details which versions of TeamViewer are compatible with which versions of macOS.)Ī viable alternative is AnyDesk, which works on fairly old versions of macOS, as well as current ones, and operates for free without any hassle, in a manner very similar to TeamViewer.Users can share files, access public files across the AnyDesk system regardless of location, and maintain personalised user interfaces. So if you’re downloading fresh, you can only get TeamViewer 14.7, which will no longer work for free. TeamViewer lets you download the final major versions all the way back to version 8.x, but not these “in-between” versions. The current version as of this writing is 15.21. (macOS 10.13 High Sierra tops out at TeamViewer 15.19, and macOS 10.11 El Capitan and 10.12 Sierra top out at TeamViewer 15.2. If you already had TeamViewer 15.x installed on an earlier version of macOS, that might continue to work, for the time being. In practical terms, this means you’ll need to be running at least macOS 10.14 Mojave on both computers if you are installing TeamViewer from scratch, and want to use it for free. This support article lays out it out, refreshingly bluntly: “If your hardware does not allow an update to the latest version, unfortunately, you cannot benefit from the free version.” This can be a problem if you are running an older version of macOS that doesn’t support the latest version of TeamViewer. Specifically, you will have to be using the current major version of TeamViewer, or it will refuse to connect. So, they have been narrowing the lane in which personal users can use it for free. TeamViewer, the erstwhile remote control software that we here at IvanExpert use for remote controlling our clients’ computers, has, like every other company, been hard at work trying to figure out how to get more money from their existing users.
