How to Connect using the Client Desktop App
Connect to Host computers in your account from your PC or Mac directly using the Client desktop app.
Why would you use the Client app to connect to hosts?
Think of the Client Desktop app as a quick link to your hosts. It provides a convenient way to perform basic remote management tasks on your hosts, such as remote control or copy files. However, using advanced features, such as reporting, creating alerts and mass deployment of hosts is only possible from the LogMeIn.com website.
You can connect to any computer that meets these conditions:
- The host software must be installed and running on the host
- The host must be turned on
- The host must be connected to the Internet
- The host must not be in Sleep mode or Hibernation mode
Tip: Wake on LAN is only available from LogMeIn.com
- The host must not already be controlled by another user
Note: Multiple users can connect to a host simultaneously; however, only a single remote user can control it. For example, one user can control a computer while another uses File Manager or Management Tools.
