It is highly recommended to always use the most recent driver version available. Through System Integration technology, Prolific is envisioning herself to grow from a Professional IC Design House to a leading SOC Core Technology Pioneer. The Company will also continue to introduce new technologies for existing IC product base that will offer customers a wide range of product solutions. With the future towards 3C integration, the Company will devote more efforts in SOC development as well as integration of competitive multimedia (MPEG-4/JPEG/MP3) and GPS products. The Company then also ventured in the Mixed-Mode technology development, successfully designing Brushless Motor Driver IC and Hall sensors. The Company started out by developing Smart I/O IC solutions, focusing on niche USB/IEEE 1394 bridge controller products. (I have no affiliation with either of these manufacturers / brands).Prolific Technology Inc., a leading IC design house and ASIC design service provider, was founded in November 1997 by a group of highly experienced and specialized technical engineers. It seems that the best way to avoid problems is to buy brand cables using genuine PL-2303 chips, for example from ATEN INTERNATIONAL CO., Ltd.

Their Technical Manager informed me: “ Please bear in mind that those cables (mostly no-brand cables) that shows Error Code 10 on latest Prolific drivers are actually using counterfeit (fake) Prolific PL-2303 chips“, and “ The only way right now to identify a fake chip is the Error Code 10“. Update 2012.01: Removed links to cached copy of the PL-2303 drivers by request of Prolific. You can download my copy of win_drivers.zip instead. Update 2011.04: The download-link at USGlobalSat apparently no longer works.
Update 2010.08: The most recent PX6IN1.EXE binary I found had a Modification date of, 15:50.
INI file, changed “LANGUAGE=CHINESE” to “LANGUAGE=ENGLISH”. I copied the C:/Program Files/PX folder a shared folder and run it from there to avoid the permissions problem.
#PL2303 PROLIFIC DRIVER FOR WINDOWS 10 SERIAL NUMBER#
If the installer asks, enter serial number “pxdz” (not sure if this is needed), enter any company name.ĭue to a permissions problem (explained here), the software runs in Chinese instead of English.
#PL2303 PROLIFIC DRIVER FOR WINDOWS 10 INSTALL#
If needed, install 7-Zip to unpack the RAR-archive.Ĭhoose “Typical” installation. I downloaded the most recent 6in1 software from Puxing (either or ). This worked for me the cable now shows up as a serial port (COM3 here). Unpack and install (PL2303_Prolific_GPS_AllInOne_1013.exe), insert the USB programming cable. Re-installation did not help.Īfter some Googling, I downloaded alternative USB Drivers from (cached: win_drivers.zip). These appear to install correctly, but upon inserting the USB cable Windows 7 returns an error “The Device Cannot Start (Code 10)” and claims the driver was not installed. I tried the supplied drivers from 409shop for Puxing I also tried latest drivers from the Prolific website ( PL2303_Prolific_DriverInstaller_v130.zip). On my Mac, I run a virtual Windows 7 installation under VMware Fusion.
The “6-in-1” programming software is only available for Windows. My Puxing PX-777 Plus radios can be programmed using a USB Programming Cable. A quick note on installing the Prolific PL-2303 USB-to-Serial driver under Windows 7.
