Adobe Reader and Acrobat co-installed on the same Remote Desktop Session Host server

Question

We are looking to have reader and acrobat pro co-installed on the same Remote Desktop Session Host server.  Users who had a license for Acrobat would use that product, while all others users would utilize reader. I understand the suggested license structure, however why do Reader users have to be licensed? Do they still need a license even though they are not power users who need "Acrobat's" functionality? Can I license only power users and still have "Reader" users access the program without authentication?

The users who use the Reader will not need a licensed version at all. So no need of a license.

Whereas the users that are granted permission to use Adobe Acrobat Pro need a license and they need to be allowed permission to use it.

Alternatively, people can use a browser app as well if they just want to view a PDF.

I hope this information helps!

Regards.
