Can't connect to Adobe servers to verify subscription

Recently I was given back a company computer that used to have Acrobat Pro installed (and working). Previous users have removed it for some reason and now, when I install it again, I cannot login.

First, I was installing it via the Creative Cloud app where I am logged in, but then in Acrobat itself it would tell me I am running a 7 day trial version and pressing the "Sign in" button didn't do anything. In the help menu I could see that I was logged in but trying to access account details would result in a "Can't connect to Adobe servers" error. I followed some instructions found in these forums to remove the app using the Acrobat Cleaning tool and reinstall using installer from this link: https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-dc-downloads.html but now I am getting the connection error unable to verify my subscription when I try to open the app and it forces me to close it. I tried following these steps: https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install/kb/licensing-errors.html#1xx but none of them worked. I tried disabling antivirus software but that didn't help either. I created a new admin user and tried installing and running the app again but the same error occurs.

I am running a 32 bit Acrobat Pro app on a Windows 8.1 64 bit OS (I cannot install 64 bit app, it won't let me).
