This invalidation additionally ignores when users who paid for their lifetime perpetual licenses, where in one case with Linus of ''Linus Tech Tips'' only received a discount for the subscription for paying for a ~$5k+ software upgrade only a few months before the announcement of the sunset of versions 11 and 12 in '''December 2025'''.<ref>{{Cite news |last=LMG Clips |date=Jun 23, 2025 |title=If Buying Isn’t Owning, Then Piracy Isn’t Stealing |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDfCYF0PLac |access-date=Jun 23, 2025 |work=[[YouTube]]}}</ref> Some highlights included with the email sent to Linus are the following:<blockquote>'''How does this affect you?'''
- After the above date, licenses for TeamViewer '''11 and 12 will no longer be supported''' on our global network infrastructure.h
- You will still be able to use these versions for local (LAN) connections, where both devices are on the same network, but internet-based remote sessions will no longer be available</blockquote><blockquote>'''Your options'''
We highly encourage you to consider upgrading to the latest version of TeamViewer. As a valued customer, we are pleased to offer you an '''exclusive upgrade discount''' should you choose to transition to a subscription plan.</blockquote>
