Windows Logo test
During the installation of a Window driver from SMA, you will receive a warning notice under
Windows stating that the software you are about to install has not passed the Windows Logo
test.
This warning notice appears when other providers' drivers are installed. It indicates that the
manufacturer's driver was not tested in the Microsoft "Windows Hardware Quality Labs
(WHQL)" laboratory.
SMA Solar Technology AG has checked the driver's function and approved the driver. You can
ignore Microsoft's recommendation that you stop installation and continue with the installation.
