nRF24LU1+, PID? VID?

[powerup]

HI.

I purchased the nRF24LU1 + chip and created a USB Dongle module.

I have come to know about PID and VID.

Can I use nordic's VID (0x1915) as it is?

Is USB Dongle a must buy VID, PID?

Thank you.

Hi,

 

It is not recommended to re-use our VID, but it is possible:

Best regards,

Why is it not recommended to use Nordic VID?

Is there a legal problem?

Or is there a problem with duplicate PIDs?

Best regards,

No legal issue.

You are allowed to use Nordic Semiconductor's VID, but we do not provide any guarantees when you choose to use our VID. Duplicated PIDs is a potential issue, as we do not keep track of externally used PIDs.
