For Acrobat 4.0, double-check Section 1.2 of the "License Agreement for Acrobat" file found in the Adobe Acrobat 4.0 folder. Here's a quote:
Adobe grants to you a nonexclusive license to use the Software, provided that you agree to the following:
1. Use of the Software.
1.1 You may install one copy of the Software onto a hard disk or other storage device of up to the Permitted Number of Computers.
1.2 You may install one copy of the Software on a single file server for the purpose of downloading and installing the Software onto a hard disk or other storage device of up to the Permitted Number of Computers that are on the same network as the file server. No other network use is permitted.
I'm certain older versions of Acrobat had something similar in their licence agreements.
Hope this helps,
