is administrator required when auto updating acrobat dc

New Here ,
Feb 05, 2016 Feb 05, 2016

I have installed Acrobat DC because our users have started to install it. It installed in classic mode on my Windows 7 computer and it has defaulted to automatic updates. As a standard user I did a "check for updates" but there weren't any available. I don't want to wait a couple of months for the next round of updates so can someone tell me if administrator is required when the auto updates try to run, or is it like Flash where it will update a standard user? Thanks.

Hi nancys52813019,

To install/update/uninstall any application either you are logged in as a administrator or administrator has granted rights to the user account to perform any installation/update/uninstall.

Regards,

Meenakshi

I feel that (perhaps contradicting) that the FULLY automatic updates (behind the scenes) don't need elevation (that is, asking for administrator privilege). At least with Continuous.  What version do you have now?

We have the classic version. I read in a third party blog that it does need admin rights, but I just want to confirm that, so I will know whether or not I will need to roll out updates to our users.
