Re: Libusbk for Window 10 signing

Hi Xiaofan,

I'm part of the open source Audio Widget project and the owner of one
commercial hardware implementation of it.

We have a Windows driver based on libusbK (.sys and .dll), and I'd
like it to continue working for still some time. As an embedded
hardware guy I don't personally have the skill to port the driver to
another library.

Does this mean the existing built driver will not install / eventually
stop working / work forever on Win10? Which one applies to a
libusbk.dll based driver built in the future? It's important that I
warn existing users about any driver updates.

The ideal would of course be that the existing driver installs forever
on all of Win7/8/10, but bar that, I hope a new build can still
install on all three.

If this is a matter of funding a certificate for libusbK, let me know.


All the best,
Borge
