    55[libusb-win32: libusb-win32] is a port of the USB library [http://sourceforge.net/projects/libusb libusb-0.1] to the Microsoft Windows operating systems (Windows 98 SE, Windows ME, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7. Starting from version 1.1.14.0, libusb-win32 support of Win98SE and WinME is dropped due to the age of these Operating systems.

Several companies have successfully finished the WHQL testing with their libusb-win32 based driver package. This will allow the customers to install the driver without a warning under current 32bit/64bit Windows.

Several companies have successfully finished the WHQL testing with their libusb-win32 based driver package. This will allow the customers to install the driver without a warning under current 32bit/64bit Windows. However, the latest Windows Logo Kit (WLK) license lists GPL as an "excluded license" so that WHQL submission will not be possible right now. The project administrators will try to address the issue by releasing the driver with dual license in the future: Modified_BSD and GPL v3 license.
