WHQL certification for FTDI drivers and Services of upgrading systems with a serial interface on systems with USB interface

Tue, 18 Jan 2011 16:33:36 +0200

IPSES provides a WHQL re-certification service for FTDI drivers addressed to all companies that already use them but who, having changed the PID and / or the VID to identify their products, have now no longer a certificated driver which is no longer usable in the last 64-bit Windows systems.

Once an INF file has been edited, its original digital signature is no longer valid.IPSES, once certified the new driver for the client, may also runs its online distribution through Microsoft's Windows Update Driver Distribution Service, allowing plug and play driver installation.

Besides, Since several years IPSES offers its expertise and experience in the field to renew the systems of its customers (also developed by third parties), migrating the RS232 interface to a more modern and convenient USB interface, with minimal changes to project.

The project is followed in all its parts, including both the supply of Windows WHQL-certified drivers and all the needed software support to make a complete migration of your system with no problems.
