I recently tried installing Korg’s KONTROL software and USB-MIDI driver for the nano- and microKEY series devices, and while Korg’s driver software showed the devices as existing and connected, the KONTROL software insisted they weren’t connected. Remembering to plug a device into the same port each time you used it, and deleting any duplicates, was an easy way to free up ports. Part of the problem was from Windows creating duplicate ports if you plugged a USB MIDI device into different USB ports. I believe this was eventually increased to 32 ports, but still, if you exceeded the limit you needed to dive into the registry and delete unused or duplicate ports. If you exceeded that amount, MIDI devices simply wouldn’t show up as available in DAWs and other programs. Windows XP originally had a limit of 10 MIDI ports. I don’t like to write articles that describe what may be a solution to what may be a problem, but I don’t really have a choice.
