Using your account on another computer

You can log into your account on any computer on which you install the Groove software. Once you log in you initially have only your account information; that is, references to your workspaces but not the actual workspace content data. You can then selectively download the content data for your workspaces from another computer that has your account (and data), or from other workspace members.

Note: Your Groove administrator may have set policies for your account that restrict you from adding it to other computers.

Prerequisites to using your account on another computer

You can log in to your account on another computer only if you've set up the account to be used on multiple computers. You can do this during account activation, or later. Additionally, your account must be secured with a log-in password to use this feature.

To set up your account to allow login on other computers:

Select Options - Preferences, and click the Account tab.
Click Setup Multiple Computers...
Fill in the required email and password information, and click OK.

The password is the same as your Groove account login password.

Logging into an account on another computer

Review the prerequisites described in the previous section.
Install and start Groove.
In the Groove Account Setup Wizard, select Use an Existing Groove Account.
In the log-in screen, enter the email address set for your account and your password, and click Finish.

Alternatively, if you saved your account to a file, click Browse and select the account file on disk.

You can now proceed to download your workspace data.
