Prolific also prohibits the distribution of any PL-2303 drivers.

Serial ports, a.k.a. RS232 ports, are no longer available on new computers and laptops. Many devices still use RS232 for communication (network equipment, data acquisition boards etc.). There are several USB adapters that provide a “Virtual COM Port” using a special “USBtoUART” or “USBtoSerial” chip. Conversion cables containing these chips can be found online – but the documentation rarely specifies which chip is used! The chip is very popular, but a number of other chips can be found.

Some chips are supported by the OS, others need a special driver. Manufacturer Chip Linux driver Mac driver Windows driver FT232RL Included since 2.6.31 kernel Automatically installed by Windows 7 PL-2303 Included since 2.4.10 / 2.4.31 kernel CP210x – –???

Hi, I'm afraid that there is no solution. There is lot's of people reporting problems with W10 and Prolific devices (based on popular PL2303 adapter).

Myself, I've the same problems with scrolling LED Badges, and USB to COM dongles. All this devices use a PL2303 to provide a connection to an USB port, but inside, they are RS232-like interface build (and appear as a COM port in your operating system). When you plug the device into USB, it is well recognized by W10 and it try to load the Prolific driver. This work fine, but looking at the configuration panel, you will then notice that there is an error code 10 and the driver is not working properly. Of course, you can try to manually update the driver at Prolific site: But, look carefully on this page and you will read an important notice in RED: Windows 8/8.1/10 are NOT supported in PL-2303HXA and PL-2303X (End Of Life) chip versions. This is clear: if your device is using an old chip version of PL2303, the drivers not works with W10 (and W8). As many people, you probably upgrade directly from W7 to W10, and sure, don't know that this problem was already present with W8.

It's a shame from Prolific to not support this devices, because they are still used (my LED badges are less than a year old, and use EOL PL-2303 HX). Prolific's guys are fun when they said: ' Prolific recommends to use chip.' Hey, but I can't do that myself!!! I don't want to send my devices to trash because they are too old (less than a year!) to be supported by W10. May be, a solution will be to use the old W7 drivers version into W10. After testing. FOUND THE SOLUTION!

Crack Drm License Without. Indeed, when installing W10, the device driver for PL-2303 is the latest version. You can check it, using the configuration panel: watch the COM and LPT section, you should have the 'Prolific USB-to-Serial Comm (COM X)'.

Click on properties, and get the details: the version driver (ser2pl.sys or ser2pl64.sys) should be something like 3.6.78.350 but this one doesn't work anymore with old PL-2303 hardware. Sometimes, installing the latest version of drivers solve the problem, but in this case, this is the opposite. The latest version doesn't work anymore with old hardware, and you need to downgrade the driver.

If you have previously used the PL-2303 (with W7) and upgrade to W10, it's simple because the previous versions of the drivers are still on your computer. To downgrade, use the configuration panel, choose COM and LPT and right click: the first choice should be 'update driver' (or something similar: sorry, but I've the French version, and hope my translation is understandable). On the next windows, choose the second option 'Look for a driver on my computer'. Another windows appear, and select the bottom option: 'choose from a list on my computer'.
