Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Ledger Live setup and usage

Is Ledger Live free to use? +
Yes, Ledger Live is completely free to download and use. There are no subscription fees for the basic functionality. Transaction fees may apply when sending cryptocurrencies or using exchange services, which are standard network or service fees.
Can I use Ledger Live without a hardware wallet? +
While you can install and explore Ledger Live without a hardware wallet, you need a Ledger device to fully utilize its security features. Without a hardware wallet, you cannot create new accounts, send transactions, or access the complete functionality. The hardware wallet is essential for the security model.
How often should I update Ledger Live? +
You should update Ledger Live whenever a new version is available. Updates typically include security enhancements, new features, and support for additional cryptocurrencies. Enable automatic updates in settings to ensure you always have the latest version with the most current security protections.
Can I use Ledger Live on multiple devices? +
Yes, you can install Ledger Live on multiple computers and mobile devices. Your accounts and transaction history will sync across devices when you connect your Ledger hardware wallet. However, for security reasons, you must physically connect your Ledger device to each device you want to use for transactions.
What happens if I lose my Ledger device? +
If you lose your Ledger device but have your 24-word recovery phrase, you can restore your entire wallet on a new Ledger device. Your funds are safe as long as your recovery phrase is secure. Without the recovery phrase, access to your funds would be permanently lost, which is why it's critical to store it safely.
