COM Port in Win 10?

I don't use the PCAN-USB very often so I might not remember it correct but shouldn't I see a COM port for the device in device manager? at least the software I intend to use prompts me for it...
I get the "PCAN-USB" under "CAN-Hardware" in the device manager but nothing under "Ports", no warnings or exclamation marks.
I have installed the latest drivers from PEAK:S web page.
Win 10 / 64
Thanks in advance

Hi,
the PCAN-USB module is an USB device with an own driver. It is not a com port device.
Which software do you like to use? Maybe you need to install the dlls for the PCAN-USB, to be able to use the device by your software.
regards
Michael

The problem is solved, I just ignored the prompt and everything worked as it should, guess this is how it feels like to be stupid
The software is dedicated for diagnostics on a radio receiver for an industrial remote control.
Anyway thanks for your help!

Hi, I am having the same problem.
I would like to use a PEAK usb CAN module at a specific COM port but it doesn't show up as one.
Is there any way to do this?

Hello,
Like mentioned in this very thread, the PCAN-USB is a USB-interface and
will not show up as a COM-device.
PCAN-USB uses its own driver, which you can download using this link:

If you want to use a PCAN-USB in your own applicatiom, have a look at the PCANBasic API:
