Is it possible to make Windows(10) feel that a device is connected even when it isn't connected?
Basically, I'm looking for a way to make Windows think that a device such as a pen drive, or a writing tablet is connected to the CPU, even when there is no such connected device really.

THE MAIN ISSUE

I use a software which is aimed at a particular hardware, say "Device 1". I'm unsatisfied with "Device 1" and luckily, the software also works with another similar device, "Device 2". But the software in "Device 2's" case keeps notifying that the particular hardware(Device 1) isn't connected. I want to get rid of these messages, actually a watermark. That's why I thought of somehow misleading the software (or even Windows) into thinking that "Device 1" is connected at all times, even when it physically isn't, while I use the software with "Device 2" in peace.

Devices 1 and 2 are input devices.

  Are they actual input devices, or are they license tokens that just appear as HID devices?

  @grawity even if they are real input devices that do something, the use of the software is dependant on a device acting as a valid licence token. As such this behaviour is expected and "as designed"

  @UtkarshVerma found touchboards.com/starboard-sbswsa which says "For use only with non-StarBoard branded Interactive products." Seems that it can be bought... So the answer becomes "You have Device 1 connected, or you pay to use it with Device 2"
