Reader would work for like 90% of people, but no, everyone needs Standard or Pro because reasons.

    The problem is IT (me included) had installed Adobe Pro for years apart of the image no matter what.

    Then licensing became more of a pain, and we don’t really have a great way of telling if a user needs Pro or Reader.

    Luckily with OS upgrades from 7 to 10 most of us fixed that and just made Reader available and Pro as a request.

      That’s crazy! Kind of similar but luckily we did keep it just reader in the image. If requested pro was installed, which of course everyone requested and we didn’t really put up a stink because of the same thing you stated! Then the end came for version 11 and switch to DC came and we needed to get our act together… took a few months but we had to have everyone we didn’t immediately know submit business justification for its use. Half were denied. I think we have 400 licenses and licensing is all portal based now. I wanna say we had over 800 with it originally. That was super annoying.
