Hi Phillip,

I don't experience this problem with FLEXnet, but it looks like I  
solved the Acrobat issues through a login hook that:

* Makes the com.adobe.acrobat.90.sh.plist and  
com.adobe.Acrobat.Pro_x86_9.0.plist available in ~/Library/ 
Preferences. This stops it from asking for admin authentication to  
repair itself
* Redirects ~/Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/Acrobat to the local  
disk, and pre-populates this folder with some good files. This  
actually made Acrobat open.

I hope this will help you or someone sometime.

No luck with Premiere yet.
