Any update on the rollout of this service in GCC High?

Also, why does the main sales page for Universal Print start with an ad for Windows 11.  Is windows 11 required to interact with Universal Print?

Something we missed for GCC.  If you are GCC you can get Universal Print but you don't get Universal Print.  There's a line hiding in a sub doc, hiding in a purple-pinkish box that eludes to this.

If you are GCC and are G3/G5 you have to go and enroll the feature through a  $0 purchasing using an arbitrary PO so that your G3/G5 license is activated as including the Universal Print service entry.
