I'm facing the following problem:

I have a software that reads/writes Smart Cards through COM Ports. The Smart Card device that i own is plugged through USB therefore recognised as a usb device with the result of the software not being able to use my USB device.

And i'm asking, is there a solution to map the USB device in a Virtual COM Port ? As i've seen in the device manager there's a COM Port even though there aren't and physical ports in the computer since it's running from a Virtual Machine.

I found this answer here: How to map a virtual COM port to a physical USB port? but i can't seem to make it work.

The device i'm using is Omnikey 3021 with Windows 10 and i know for a fact that another company managed to make it work with the exact same software/hardware

Thanks for your time
