Adobe Acrobat Pro DC installer - Need to install without User Credentials on Enterprise Network

[Nathaniel.JacksonALEA]

We have an older installer (6/12/2024 Version: 24.2.20687.0) for Adobe Acrobat Pro DC that we use on our Enterprise Network. We install it and then have the user's login with their credentials at their conveinence, normally installing it ahead of time before the user picks up there computer from us. 

The new installer (2.14.0.35) won't let us proceed with the install without authenticating an account. Is it possible to get access to an installer that doesn't need to be authentication (like the old installer we use) or edit the new installer to bypass authentication?

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out.

The latest Adobe Acrobat Pro DC installer follows Adobe’s modern licensing model, which requires authentication during installation. Unlike older versions, the new installer ensures that only authorized users access the software as part of Adobe’s security and licensing policies.

For enterprise deployment, Adobe provides Adobe Admin Console to manage and deploy software without requiring end-user authentication during installation. You can create a Custom Package that allows silent installation and user login at their convenience. Here’s how you can proceed:

1. Use the Adobe Admin Console – If you have an enterprise subscription, you can create a customized deployment package that bypasses authentication during installation. You can download it from: Adobe Admin Console

2. Check Adobe Licensing Model – If you are using a named-user license, authentication is required. However, Shared Device Licensing (SDL) or Serial Number Licensing may allow pre-installation without immediate authentication.

3. Review Adobe Enterprise Deployment Resources – You can find more details on silent installations and licensing options in the Adobe Enterprise Deployment Guide:
