Installing the Host Software (Add a computer)

    Each computer you want to access must be running the Host software. In a sense, the Host software safely and securely "opens the door" to a computer for a qualified remote user.

    Here is how to add a computer to your account:

    1. Go to LogMeIn.com.
    2. Log in to your account using your LogMeIn ID (email address) and password.

      Result: The Computers page is displayed.

    3. On the Computers page, click Add Computer.
    4. Choose an option:
      Option Description
      Add this computer To add the computer you are using, click Add this computer > Download installer. Follow the on-screen instructions to download and install the host.
      Add different computer To add a computer other than the one you are using, click Add different computer > Generate link. Follow the on-screen instructions to download and install the host.
      Note: A one-time link expires after 24 hours or after the first install.

    Installation also includes the Client desktop app, a tool you can use to connect to your host computers.
