How can the menu item " SignIn / Sign Out " ( Menu : Help > SignIn / Sign Out ) are hidden / disabled (Adobe Acrobat DC)?

Currently, the following data in the JavaScript file is stored:
app.hideMenuItem("DetectAndRepair");
app.hideMenuItem("OnlineSupport");
app.hideMenuItem("LearnProduct");
app.hideMenuItem("About");
app.hideMenuItem("AboutAdobeExtensions");
app.hideMenuItem("endAboutPlugInGroup");
app.hideMenuItem("SystemInformation");
app.hideMenuItem("endGuideGroup");
app.hideMenuItem("endUsingGroup");

Or can "SignIn / Sign Out" ( Menu : Help > SignIn / Sign Out ) are disabled on the registry ?

Correct answer Karan Malik

Use following registry keys to disable Help > Sign In/Sign Out

For Continuous Build:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\DC\FeatureLockDown]

"bSuppressSignOut"=dword:00000001

For Classic Build:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\2015\FeatureLockDown]

"bSuppressSignOut"=dword:00000001

The current version is located here:

"Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\DC\FeatureLockDown\cServices" 

DWORD: "bUpdater" and set the Value: "0"

Has anyone gotten this working for Acrobat Reader RDS server?

Using Latest - "Continuous Release | Version 2024.002.20759 | 64-bit"

Trying to stop signing into the product since it then turns reader into acrobat pro and means unlicensed users can't use reader anymore.

Hi Nathan, do you mind going through exactly what you did? I don't seem to have the cServices key and I didn't understand what you did, did you create DWords to make the bUpdater? Doesn't seem to be working for me annoyingly.
