Adobe Indesign Open PDF button requires serial number but I have Adobe CC subscription

Indesign Ver 19.5

Platform: MacOS Monterey 12.7.5

 

Full of frustration here from Adobe support chat as I keep getting the runaround.

I have Adobe Indesign open and navigate to File-Open pdf file.  A window pops up requiring Registration information.  Does anyone know how I bypass this as I have an Adobe CC subscription which does not use serial numbers and support on this is non existent.

The only thing that happens in support is that I get the message of being forwarded to another person when I mention this problem.  This happens for about an hour then support says that Im trying to open a protected pdf and then I get disconnected when I say to them I have not even selected a file to open yet but they keep insisting that Im opening a protected pdf then we go around in circles until I get disconnected.  I have tried to find a phone number, email or even just open a ticket with support but there are no longer any of these options so trying here.

Screenshot attached.

All fixed now.  The open pdf is only on the beta version and only opens pdfs made in indesign.  The open pdf file button was from a plugin that needed a subscription.
