  1. Once you've logged in, you'll see your assigned computer in the list.



  1. Double-click on the computer in the list to download the ConnectWise Client that you will use to connect to your work PC.

Click 'Open' when it asks you if you're sure you want to open the file. Note that you must log in to the website every time you'd like to connect to your PC and you cannot just double-click on the downloaded file every time.
