Product Type and Track
Choose Continuous track if you:
* Use named-user deployments; that is, you want to manage entitlements through enterprise IDs. In service-centric environments, it’s beneficial to have a single identity of the user across the desktop, mobile & cloud. products support federated and enterprise IDs for identity-based licensing.
* Want new features delivered in updates as soon as they become available.
* Use Acrobat web services.
* Would like to take advantage of frequent updates for security and functionality reasons (you can leverage the silent and automatic update mode, but it is not required).
* Can automatically update or push controlled updates on a 60 day schedule. Since web and desktop updates are released in tandem, keeping the desktop updated ensures features and functionality remain synchronized with Document Cloud services.
* For the Continuous track, only the latest base release and last update will be available for download.
The Classic track is similar to the 11.x model and provides few (if any) new features in updates. Like previous releases, a quarterly update cadence delivers security and platform enhancements as well as bug fixes. Acrobat Classic is now available as an FRL and NUL package that you can create in the Admin console and deploy on your machines. When using the NUL package for Acrobat Classic, only the Adobe cloud storage is available. Other services, such as Share, and Send for review are disabled. As is standard with FRL licensing, there is no access to services or storage. For more information, see Feature restricted licensing.
Choose Classic track if you:
* Manage a locked environment and need to control the frequency and nature of updates. All updates remain available for download.
* You don’t need identity-based licensing and deployment is machine based, and the ability to manage users via the Admin Console.
* Want to limit the feature set to those included in major releases.
* Do not want to use services.  Want to manage updates like previous 11.x releases.
* Want to manage updates like previous 11.x releases.
