TeamViewer created a license type called the Remote Access license. The goal was to offer a low-price, high-value solution for specific use cases like Remote Access or Remote Work. Classic examples are Home Offices or Server administration to a limited extent. 

To give you a great starting point, we created this FAQ to tackle the most common questions.
