You can see a list of the computers on which you're synchronizing your Groove account, as well as the status of your account on each computer. To see this information, select Options - Preferences, and click the Account tab. You can do the following account management tasks:
If you enabled the option to use your Groove account on multiple computers, your account is automatically uploaded to groove.net every 60 days. You can also manually upload your account to groove.net at any time. The Account tab displays the date and time your account was last uploaded.
You can upload your account only from one of the computers on which you have your account. You can change the computer selected for this activity at any time. In general, it makes sense to upload your account from the computer on which you do most of your Groove activity.
To change the computer selected for account uploads, click Use This Computer for Account Uploads. This option appears on the Account tab only if the computer is not currently selected for this activity.
To manually upload your account to groove.net, click Update Account Now.
If you add your Groove account to multiple computers, Groove synchronizes your workspace data provided that you go online on all computers with reasonable frequency (at minimum, about once every three weeks). If you're offline any one of the computers synchronizing your account for an excessive period of time, Groove stops synchronizing data for this computer, and posts a synchronization alert.
Do the following if you see a synchronization alert:
Delete the unsynchronized copy of the account from the computer where it resides.
Run the process for using an existing account on another computer to re-add the deleted account.
Groove lists the names of the computers on which you have your account. You can change the names listed for these computers. New names will display in this window for all computers that contain your Groove account.
To rename a computer in the list:
Select the computer and click Rename....
Enter a new name and click OK.
If the status for a computer in your Multiple Computers list is "Unsynchronized" and you would like to remove it from the list, select it and click Remove.
