Can't use my generative Credits in Indesign (21.2, WIN)

Hi everyone!

I’ve just updated my Indesign to 21.2 (WIN11) because I wanted to check out the new AI-Feature to generate Alternative Text directly in Indesign.

I checked out my credits (500) before. But I can’t get my Indesign to recognize/ use these credits.

I already checked out my CC and signed in again but the Problem ist still there: the ALT-Text-Option remains greyed out (see attached image)

Anyone knows how to get around this?

Your help is much appreciated, thanks in advance.

… just found the crucial thing: switch the extended paragraph styles (in paragrah style options) to English (US, GB, CAN).

Now the generate button can be clicked 😉. Nice weekend everyone!
