How to Connect using the LogMeIn Client Desktop App

Connect to LogMeIn host computers in your LogMeIn account from your PC or Mac directly using the LogMeIn Client desktop app.

Connect to any computer that meets these conditions:

LogMeIn 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 LogMeIn 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.

Launch the LogMeIn Client desktop app:
- Option 1. Click the LogMeIn system tray (or menu bar) icon and select Connect to computers.
- Option 2. Using the Start menu or Finder, start the LogMeIn Client.

LogMeIn will attempt to make a connection to the host. You will be prompted to authenticate to the host.

Log in to the computer using the appropriate authentication method:
- If prompted, enter the username and password you would enter if you were sitting in front of the host computer.
- If prompted, enter the Computer Access Code you created when you installed LogMeIn to the host computer.
Remember: Do not enter your LogMeIn ID and password. This will result in Error 1326 or Error 5 (incorrect user name and password).

Your session begins upon successful authentication.
