Sometimes when I am upgrading Reader on Windows machines, I can go to 'tools' within the application and one of the listed tools will be 'Edit'. Clicking this prompts the application to check the user's account for a license, sees that they have a Standard/ Pro license and there's a popup saying Reader can't edit PDFs but since a license is possessed, it will upgrade to Standard/ Pro in the background. Perfect.
Other times (most of the time) this does not happen, because the 'tools' tab doesn't list all the features that better versions of Acrobat have, so there is nothing for me to click to prompt the upgrade. I then have to manually uninstall Reader, sift through the maze of results that shows up when I Google 'adobe acrobat standard download' and then try to navigate Adobe's terrible website that seems to move the download for Acrobat Standard every time I go to find it.
Finally I found someone asking the same question I've been trying to find the answer to. Does anyone have an answer to this? I just setup 3 users with Pro licenses and 1 of them gave the prompt to upgrade to Pro and the other 2 I had to manually uninstall and reinstall. These 3 machines were imaged and prepped the exact same way on the same day originally.
I've found that there is a option within the "help" tab to "Upgrade".. It's either in "Help" or a different tab but it's there. Also doesn't require elevated privs to upgrade unlink a full re-install does.
