Subscribed but InDesign won't open after trial period

I recently subscribed to Creative Cloud. I really only need Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign. I noticed the trial period message/countdown was appearing at the top of the screen and assumed it'd just go away and then the paid period began. But now it's expired, on PS and AI when they are opened, they display a window saying trial period had ended, with the opportunity to buy it. I close the window nd it's OK, so why does this appear anyay?

 

But more annoyingly, InDesign does the same then quits. I urgently need to use it so how can I resolve this?

 

I'm using MOac OS Monterey v12.1

 

Many thanks in advance.

check your account to verify your subscription is what you expect and to verify your adobe id, https://accounts.adobe.com

 

if you subscription is as expected, sign out and then back in to your cc desktop application using the same adobe id used to verify your subscription: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/sign-in-out-creative-cloud-desktop-app.html

 

if your account does not show your subscription, using a browser that allows popups and cookies, contact adobe support during pst business hours by clicking here, https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html?rghtup=autoOpen

that's one of the reasons my message about checking your account and confirming your subscription is the first thing that should be tried.
