The QEMU project is currently moving its bug tracking to another system.
For this we need to know which bugs are still valid and which could be
closed already. Thus we are setting the bug state to "Incomplete" now.
If the bug has already been fixed in the latest upstream version of QEMU,
then please close this ticket as "Fix released".
If it is not fixed yet and you think that this bug report here is still
valid, then you have two options:
1) If you already have an account on gitlab.com, please open a new ticket
for this problem in our new tracker here:
https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues
and then close this ticket here on Launchpad (or let it expire auto-
matically after 60 days). Please mention the URL of this bug ticket on
Launchpad in the new ticket on GitLab.
2) If you don't have an account on gitlab.com and don't intend to get
one, but still would like to keep this ticket opened, then please switch
the state back to "New" or "Confirmed" within the next 60 days (other-
wise it will get closed as "Expired"). We will then eventually migrate
the ticket automatically to the new system (but you won't be the reporter
of the bug in the new system and thus you won't get notified on changes
anymore).
Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience.

Title:
Allow setting usb storage device ID parameters
Status in QEMU:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Some stubborn software requires certain VID/PID/Serial to authenticate
and refuses to start in emulation. This poses a problem with
unsupported programs which often require keeping an ancient hardware
praying that the USB stick will not die before the (often defunct)
company making it.
Virtualizing such environment is desired. However, QEMU doesn't allow
setting VID/PID/Serial/Name of emulated USB devices, but instead uses
hardcoded values:
https://github.com/qemu/qemu/blob/c99fa56b95a72f6debd50a280561895d078ae020/hw/usb
/dev-storage.c#L95
This request (including a patch) was already made in 2015 on the list
but never got any response: https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html
/qemu-discuss/2015-07/msg00072.html
WDYT of adding such functionality?
