I'm using QExtSerialPort in my application. On Linux, when I open two instances of my program, configured with the same serial port, both instances are able to open the port without problems.

However, on Windows, the second instance fails to open the port, as the first instance has exclusive access. Is there any way to workaround this limitation (without a virtual serial port if possible), or is it impossible on Windows? Does QSerialDevice behave differently?

Thanks in advance,
Ismael
