MSDN Document "USB-IF Test Certification ID Check" indicates the TESTID be
set to zero. When I run this test in the DTM, the log reports an error: "No
valid USB IF test ID has been entered."

I am testing with WLK 1.5. There is some buzz on the Internet that WinQual
has a method by which to generate a Test ID that works with WLK 1.5, but I
can find nothing helpful on their site.

Any ideas?

Thanks

No, it doesn't. The menu shows that the test ID starts out as 0, but
you're supposed to enter the ID that you got from running the USB
compliance tests.

You have to run the USB compliance tests from the USB Implementor's Forum,
and enter the test ID number that the compliance tests give you. In WLK
1.4, the compliance tests were run as part of the test suite. In WLK 1.5,
they originally expected you to go to a certificate USB testing company to
get the ID. They've now decided to go back to the original scheme of
including the tests in WLK, but for now I believe you'll have to get the
test from www.usb.org and run them yourself.

Perhaps you should contact WHQL. In light of the confusion, perhaps they
have a procedure for getting a variance.

I believe you need the tests here:
http://www.usb.org/developers/tools

However, the whole thing is so much in flux, you should probably contact
Winqual for the definitive information.

Does anyone know how to get the ID needed to pass this WHQL test? We
downloaded the certification test from USB.org but it does not seem to
generate an ID that we can see.
