Creative Cloud : Allow update, prevent install (non-admin)

How can we deploy Acrobat Pro in a set-and-forget-it way, that will allow it to auto-update, but prevent users to install new apps from the Creative Cloud app?  Users are non-admin.

These two options will allow the users to install and update the CC apps without needing admin rights. If they are entitled to use only Acrobat, the users will get licensing error in downloading/accessing the other CC apps.

By default Acrobat Pro is set to auto update including for Standard users.

Do not customize any update related features for deployment and you are all set.

Just one note - if you use Admin Install Point for deployment, do not apply any patch to it.

Please elaborate.  If I create a new Acrobat package in the admin console, by default the first two checkmarks are enabled :

"Enable self-service install" and "Allow non-admins to update and install apps"

 

How will these settings prevent users to install apps?
