Where is it? People working in Print have had the Color Book Pantone Color Bridge Coated forever and now it's gone. Some of us can't use anything else. Please don't toss this off and ask us to contact Pantone as Monica has done already.

It was presumably set to uninstall when you updated to the later version.

You seem to have CS6 installed though. Can you access the colour books from that?

The Color Bridge books were removed in version 2022, but if you have 2021 or earlier installed you can retrieve them from that.

 This is Bull Crap. It implies that pretty soon all Pantone licenses will be cancelled. Why can't Adobe be real and tell us themselves.

"Standardized pre-loaded Color libraries, also known as Pantone Color books, will be phased out of Illustrator, InDesign, and Photoshop in software updates released after August 16, 2022."

Is that not what this says?

The colour bridge books have been removed from the most recent CC apps:

If you have older versions of the apps installed, you can use the books from those:
