I understand, but does any other person use this server? I'm assuming a shared Terminal Server.

Yes, you're right. It's a shared terminal server. But anyone has admin privileges except me, so I suppose anyone can change instalation. right?

If any user of the system has a subscription to use Acrobat Pro, or Acrobat Standard, or Creative Cloud all apps; and this user opens a PDF, then Acrobat Reader is automatically converted to the paid product. There is now only one product, so all the people who want to use Reader on the same computer now need a license. I don't say this is a good thing, but it does explain what is happening.  If you reinstall Reader it will last until a subscribing user next opens a PDF. You cannot stop this.
