Installing LogMeIn Host Software (Add a computer)

Each computer you want to access must be running the LogMeIn host software. In a sense, the LogMeIn 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:

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

The Computers page is displayed.
On the Computers page, click Add Computer.
