Now your argument is that Acrobat IS SUPPORTED on virtualized environments, right? Yes, you are correct.
So how do you run the Acrobat which is included with Creative Cloud on a virtualized environment? So, whether or not you are using Named User or Serialized licensing models you need to use a standalone install of Acrobat in a virtualized environment. If you have a Named User then you will use the standalone Acrobat Pro download. This means no Creative Cloud Desktop application. Now your provisioning or serial number will work on a standalone installer with some caveats. Note, that there are specific steps for serialized workflows on imaged OSes.
