The Pantone License Expired this month August 2022
If you updated Adobe InDesign, Illustrator or Photoshop on 8/16 or after, then all of the Pantone colors included in that license were removed.
You do NOT need Pantone please do not rush out and buy the license and do not download the Plugin which actually has a TON of issues so it's not even worth it in my opinion.
Here's what you can do instead.
