Hello,

Due to federal mandate for higher education environments, we will soon be required to obtain VPATs that demonstrate compliance with Section 508 for any software used at our institution. 7-Zip has always been included as a part of our computer images, and we would love to continue using it. However, if a VPAT cannot be provided by April of 2026, we likely will be forced to uninstall the software. Is this something your team has available, or would you be willing or able to provide one?

Thanks for any information you can provide.
