Can I use FTDI's VID for my own product?

Return to Introduction  Previous page  Next page

FTDI's own vendor ID (VID) may be used by manufacturers using FTDI devices in their products, but must be used in conjunction with a product ID (PID) issued by FTDI.

 

FTDI can allocate a block of 8 PIDs for use with the FTDI VID (0x0403) free of charge.  To request a block of PIDs for use with FTDI's VID, contact FTDI Support quoting the following informaton:

 

Name
Company
Country
E-Mail Address

 

Please note that a PID issued to you by FTDI must only be used with FTDI's VID.

 

In addition, the driver INF/INI files must be amended to reflect the changed PID.
