The change will be in the next Argyll release.

[ Microchips logic escapes me - once the VID & PID are allocated and
  in real devices, it's burnt - you can't get it back and it's
  asking for untold trouble to re-use it. So why does it matter
  how many devices there are ?

  It's pretty reasonable that they give out only one per developer or
  company, but how can they limit the number of devices that use it ? ]
