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.
      Important: If asked to create a Computer Access Code during the installation process, be sure to remember the code! You will need it when connecting to the computer. The Computer Access Code cannot be retrieved, but it can be changed directly on the host. See How to Change Your Computer Access Code.
      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.
    Results:

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

    A computer can be attached to one account at a time.
