How to Attach an Unattached Client to an Account
On Windows
An existing Hamachi client running in Client-only mode can be attached to an account at any time.
This procedure must be executed on the client.
What to do next:
The Account Holder or administrator will see the attachment request on the
Join Requests page for the specified network. The Account Holder or administrator must approve or deny the request. To see the
Join Requests page, find a Hamachi network in the
menu and select
Edit on the right of the network's name. Then go to the
Join Requests tab.
Once approved, the client can be managed using the LogMeIn.com website. All networks that were created on the unattached client are also manageable from your account if they are attached to the account.
Tip: Another option is to send an installation link to a user with an unattached client. The user will click the link to reinstall the Hamachi client as an attached member of your account.
Important: You cannot attach a network to a web account that was created on an attached client. You must delete the client from the web account first and then reattach it to add all networks that were created on the client.
On Mac
On a Mac, simply log in to the Hamachi client using the account to which you want to attach the client, as follows:

On Linux
Before you can connect to a network, you must attach the client to your Hamachi account.
- Execute sudo hamachi login to log in.
The login command establishes a link between your computer and the Hamachi server. After your first login, the Hamachi client running on your computer will remember your details and whenever your restart your computer, it will automatically log you in to the Hamachi server.
- Execute sudo hamachi attach [email@example.com] using your LogMeIn ID (email address) to attach the client running on your computer.
Attaching your Hamachi client to an existing Hamachi account is optional and has the following advantages:
- You can manage your networks from the LogMeIn.com website.
- With the attach-net command, you can attach those networks that you have created on your client to a Hamachi account. This way, ownership of those networks will be transferred from the client (that created the networks) to the Hamachi account. This also means that you can manage these networks from the LogMeIn.com website.
