Customization Wizard Not Working on Prior Install

I am using the Acrobat Customization Wizard to disable some features and customize the install for our organization.  I had Acrobat DC installed on a workstation and I want to update the install with the new settings, so I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times and it will not disable the Document Cloud features.  I have done this on several other workstations that I have already installed the out of the box software and I haven't had any issues, it is just the one workstation that I can't get it to remove that functionality.

Try using the registry entries documented in the ETK for that one machine

Services integration

Services integration (DC)

These settings for DC products replace those used by 11.x and earlier. By default, Adobe online services are tightly integrated with the user interface so that users can leverage them in enterprise workflows. Adobe's services are rapidly evolving and allow your organization to increase its efficiency with zero infrastructure and management costs.

Do you mean edit the registry on the machine, or edit the registry within the Customization wizard?  I tried editing it on the local machine and no luck.

You have the key name incorrect.  It is "cServices" with a capital "S" NOT "cservices" all lower case.

Also depending on which application version you are using it may be correct to have "DC" instead of "2015".  Make sure you have the correct version listed in your key path.
