Verify License of Acrobat Pro DC via Registry or Other Method

I have a couple of subscription licenses for Acrobat Pro DC. Our notes on the computers they were assigned to were misplaced. We think we have a good sense of which computers have them, but is there a way to confirm remotely, i.e., via a Registry Key or .XML file or similar on the computer, without having to connect to the computer and launch the software?

You can determine what type of license a machine has via the SWID tag file.

This doesn’t let me identify what email address the installation is associated with. There’s nothing in this file indicating that information.

It's there, but you need to look for it.   Here is an edited formatted output from the SWID tag ETK script and an Acrobat XI install.  Notice the Bold Underlined Italicized item "channel_type:" that says "SUBSCRIPTION".
