Is an Extra Step Required to Get the EULA Registry Change Detected

Question

Hello, I have Windows 10 workstations with Adobe Reader DC that have not been auto-upgrading due to the EULA not being accepted. I have created:

"HKLM:\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\DC\AdobeViewer\EULA" with a value of 1,

and

"HKCU:\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\DC\AdobeViewer\EULA" with a value of 1

in the machines, with EULA being a Dword. Is an addititonal step required for this change to be recognized to kick off auto-updates?

By default Updater is launched by the Task Scheduler Updater Task approximately 12 minutes after User loggon and every 3 1/2 hours after that.

When launched, Updater will check for updates for each supported product if time interval (default is every 3 days per product) is elapsed.

There are number of conditions for auto-update to happen, not just the EULA check.

If you do not see a Product being auto-updated within 3 days, please provide verbose Updater log file (AdobeARM.log) from User Temp folder.

To enable verbose logging please search this forum for iLogLevel registry value.

Do not post log file here in the forum. Just send it to me in the private message.
