title: How to get Bluetooth Low Energy manufacturer's name
body: <p>I'm learning about Bluetooth (and LE), and I'm writing simple desktop application for Windows 10 to communicate with different kinds of BLE fitness devices.</p>
  
  <p>I have Bluetooth up and running and I can send and receive data, but I have a small problem; sometimes I don't get correct manufacturer name from "Manufacturer Name String". I need to know the manufacturer so that I can send manufacturer specific commands to the devices.
  The problem seems to be related to different computer hardware and/or drivers, because the problem happens only on my friends computers, not on my computers. The devices I use don't support "PnP ID" and "System ID" so I can't use those to get needed information.</p>
  
  <p>I also read somewhere that I can use MAC address to know the manufacturer, but the devices I use don't give me the address in a format that can be used to get Company Identifier.</p>
  
  <p>What else can I use to get the manufacturer name and/or code?</p>
