I just realized the original post is from 2019. If I'd realized that I'd probably not have bothered to reply to the post. That being said, this has been an on going issue with Lacerte since I first started supporting it 12 years ago. I have made several attempts over the years to transition away from users being local administrators but Lacerte updates continue to fail. I have protected folders provision locally and on the server but I simply want to limit the local user access and be able to run updates just like every other program I support.
