Add a computer to your LogMeIn Pro account

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.

Before you begin:

The computer being accessed is sometimes called the host. Think of the host as the computer that is "welcoming you in" by allowing you to use it remotely. For example, to access your home computer from work, you must install the host software on your home computer. Your home computer is the host.

Note: To assign a seat to another computer, you should first delete a computer from your account to free up a seat. See Move or reassign a LogMeIn Pro seat

Here is how to add a computer to your account and install the host software on that computer:

  1. Go to LogMeIn.com.
  2. Log in to your account using your LogMeIn ID (email address).
    You are redirected to the GoTo sign in page.
  3. Make sure your email address is correct and select Next.
  4. Type your password and select Sign In.

    Result: The Computers page is displayed.

  5. On the Computers page, select Add Computer.
    The button is disabled when you do not have sufficient computer seats. Check the number of available seats at the top of the Computers page. You must also have the Management > Deployment user permission enabled to add computers to your account.
  6. Choose an option:
    Option Description
    Add this computer To add the computer you are currently sitting at, select Add this computer > Download installer. Follow the on-screen instructions to download and install the host.
    Remember: The computer you are sitting at is called the "client". You only need to add this computer (turn it into a "host") if you want to access it remotely in the future.
    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 Change your Computer Access Code.
    Add different computer To add a computer other than the one you are using, select 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. Therefore, you cannot access the same remote host from two different accounts.

Tip: If you have trouble connecting to a remote host computer, see Connect to a remote LogMeIn host If your host is offline, see Troubleshooting offline computers in LogMeIn Pro
