If your product is designed to run with your on software you should consider
using the likes of the DLL from FTDI (assuming you use the FTDI devices) as
this will remove the issue of knowing what com port it is on.

 

The COM port option is really only applicable to a device which is going to
emulate the standard com ports. The DLL option is a much nicer way of
installing your system and it gives you greater control.

The "every time I plug in I'm a new COM port" problem really confuses
non-computer people that use my products.
