2026-02-03. The new VCell release (7.7.0 build 47) does not need admin priviledges to install. To switch to a new version, a user still need admin priviledges to uninstall the previous version, but from now on, local users will be able to run VCell no asking fro help from sysadmin. If you have problems, manually remove VCell from your computer, and download a new one from https://vcell.org/run-vcell-software.
