The second alternative conformal limit of the recently proposed general higher derivative dilaton quantum theory in curved spacetime is explored. In this version of the theory the dilaton is transformed, along with the metric, to provide the conformal invariance of the classical action. We find the corresponding quantum theory to be renormalizable at one loop, and the renormalization constants for the dimensionless parameters are explicitly shown to be universal for an arbitrary parametrization of the quantum field. The renormalization group equations indicate an asymptotic freedom in the IR limit. In this respect the theory is similar to the well-known model based on the anomaly-induced effective action.
