Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about Ledger Live Desktop

Is Ledger Live Desktop free to use?

Yes, Ledger Live Desktop is completely free to download and use. There are no subscription fees or hidden costs. The application is supported by transaction fees from integrated services like buying, selling, and swapping cryptocurrencies.

Do I need a Ledger device to use Ledger Live Desktop?

While you can download and install Ledger Live Desktop without a Ledger device, you'll need a Ledger hardware wallet (Nano S, Nano X, or Stax) to access its full functionality. The application can be used in a limited capacity to explore features, but managing assets and making transactions requires a connected Ledger device for security.

Can I use Ledger Live Desktop on multiple computers?

Yes, you can install and use Ledger Live Desktop on multiple computers. Your accounts and transaction history will sync across installations when you connect your Ledger device. However, for security reasons, you'll need to physically confirm transactions on your Ledger device each time you use it with a new computer.

How often is Ledger Live Desktop updated?

Ledger Live Desktop receives regular updates with new features, security improvements, and support for additional cryptocurrencies. Updates are typically released every few weeks. The application will notify you when an update is available, and you can download it directly through the app.

Is my data backed up if I uninstall Ledger Live Desktop?

Your cryptocurrency assets are stored on the blockchain, not in Ledger Live Desktop. The application is simply an interface for managing your assets. As long as you have your Ledger device and recovery phrase, you can always restore access to your funds, even if you uninstall Ledger Live Desktop. However, your transaction history and settings would need to be reconfigured.
