Introduction / Explanation
At times you may be asked to install an older version of TeamViewer than what’s currently available. At the time of this writing TeamViewer 13 is the current version. The reason for this is persons may have licenses for older versions and don’t want to upgrade due to the new licensing options. Other reasons may include the ability to use older versions with less “nag screens” (like version 5). This document will go into how to install TeamViewer 11 from the official website as well as from my own website. The principles will also apply to older versions.
Installing Older TeamViewer
The link available as of this writing may change, as TeamViewer has changed the link to their older versions before. I will cover 3 different ways to get the older version – I was going to do a fourth with going directly to their main site, but it’s extremely difficult to navigate to the older versions. Actually, with the new site layout I was unable to find my way without using a Google search.
Direct Link to Official Site
First go to the link: https://www.teamviewer.com/en/download/previous-versions/ – once there you can scroll down and optionally click the agreement to accept cookies for the site.
Please bear in mind that your screen resolution may show more details than the one in the screenshot.
Once you scroll down you will see options on the right. Select the version required and then the appropriate module. Most likely you will be asked to either install the full application (option 1) or use the quick support tool (option 2). If your tech asks you to install a version not listed, click on “Need An Earlier Version?” from the options on the right.
Google Search
The next option would be to use a Google search. Simply type in “teamviewer 11” and your first link should show the page given in our first set of instructions.
From there simply follow the instructions as given in the first set (scroll up to previous instruction set).
From My Site
You can get directly to TeamViewer 11 from my site using this link: https://carlosthomas.net/Remote-Assistance/ – then download/install/run on the version I’ve asked you to download, or you can go to https://carlosthomas.net
Load main site. Go to REMOTE ASSISTANCE.
Once the page loads, scroll down (if needed).
Click on the button for the version required and once completed either install or run the version based on instructions given.
