LogMeIn Glossary
Client
The client is the device used to access a host computer. Sometimes also called the Local computer or Local device, the
client can be any computer (or iPhone or iPod touch) connected to the Internet. For example, if you are in an Internet
cafe and are remotely connected to your office computer, the device in front of you (or in your hand) is the client.
Computer Access Code

The Computer Access Code is a special password that a LogMeIn user enters to gain access to a host that does not otherwise
require authorization. Most commonly, a user is prompted to create a Computer Access Code when installing LogMeIn
software to a computer that does not require Windows authorization. The Computer Access code helps ensure that only
authorized users gain access to computers in a LogMeIn account.
Host
The host is the accessible device or computer. Sometimes also called the Remote or Target computer, this is the specific
device you want to access remotely. LogMeIn software must be installed on the host. For example, if you are in an Internet
cafe and are remotely connected to your office computer, your office computer is the host.
LogMeIn ID
You use your LogMeIn ID to log in to www.LogMeIn.com or LogMeIn Ignition. It is defined by username (email address)
and password.
LogMeIn User
Anyone who has a LogMeIn ID is considered a LogMeIn User. A LogMeIn User can access computers in one or more
accounts via Profiles.
Profile
A Profile is the link between a LogMeIn User and a LogMeIn account. You use a Profile whenever you access
LogMeIn-enabled computers in a LogMeIn account.
