Frequently Asked Questions

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

Yes, Ledger Live Desktop is designed specifically to work with Ledger hardware wallets. While you can download and install the application without a device, you'll need a Ledger to access most features and securely manage your cryptocurrencies.

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 only costs you might incur are standard blockchain network fees for transactions, which are paid to miners, not to Ledger.

Can I use Ledger Live Desktop on multiple computers?

Yes, you can install Ledger Live Desktop on as many computers as you like. Your wallet data is stored securely on your Ledger device, not on the computer, so you can safely access your funds from any computer with Ledger Live Desktop installed.

What's the difference between Ledger Live Desktop and the web version?

The desktop version offers enhanced privacy, works offline for viewing your portfolio, and generally provides better performance. The web version is more convenient as it requires no installation but depends on browser security and internet connectivity.

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

Yes, your cryptocurrency data is safely stored on the blockchain and accessible with your Ledger device and recovery phrase. Uninstalling Ledger Live Desktop does not affect your funds. You can reinstall the application at any time and regain access to your wallet by connecting your Ledger device.
