Block users from installing Adobe Trial Apps

[jwojda]

Anybody have a way to block users from installing the adobe CS Apps? We have users that install the trial versions of say.. photoshop or acrobat and then it screws up the licensing and makes life miserable for the techs. I can add the installers to the restricted apps, but then I need to download each individual app and grab the installer process info, and was wondering if anybody had done that already or has a better way.

Are they installing the trial version because Adobe keeps popping up messages about "Updates Available" but in actuality, it's a prompt to install the newer Trial version? (Hey, Adobe, these two things are not the same; your intentional conflation of the two is tantamount to why people hate on your software).

Perhaps you could block the "update URL" at your network firewall?
