Re: Libusbk for Window 10 signing

OK. I just need to know how long the existing libusbK based driver can
be expected to function and be installed on Win10. Is this the
June-2016 date you were talking about?

There must be quite a few libusbK based programs out there looking for
an future-proof path forward. Anybody care to share their experience
with me?

Thanks,
Borge
