Acrobat DC 64 bit removing Reader 32bit

Is there a way we can stop Acrobat DC 64bit from removing Reader 32bit?

We require both to be installed

We often have guest lecturer's who do not have a Adobe CC sign in account to use the lab computers and just require to read PDFs

But when we install or update Acrobat CC 64bit bit it removes or upgrades reader to the pro version, thus requiring sign in

I did try the below featurelockdown method but it did not work at all:

Is there any other ways we can stop this from happening?

Thanks

No, you can't! The 64 bit binaries are supposed to be all three, the free Reader, Standard and Pro depending on the licence status.

Do you have any ideas how we can have :

1. Reader that doesnt require sign on

2. Acrobat Pro features that does require sign in

on the one machine

I dont think the unified installer supports shared device licensing which is what our computers with this issue are
