Adobe Sign In ID Required - Problems

I have a volume license for Standard and Pro DC. Trying to setup my new machines with this and thought I had it setup correctly. Apparently not as one of my machines is preventing the user from getting into Acrobat because of the sign in. Of course, this doesn't happen right away. It happens after Acrobat has been loaded a few times already, giving me false hope that it was setup correctly.

-grant offline exception is done, serial number is there

-online services and featurer > services integration is all disabled.

What is the secret to creating a traditional installer for this?

(For what it's worth, this is the most ridiculous system to setup software that I have to deal with. I might have stayed with version 10 if I knew Adobe had reinvented the wheel for both the software and now the installer.)
