Trial -- Can't Open File

[rays13279447]

Hello, I created a file through InDesign and I am at 8 days (1 day past the free trial). However, InDesign said, do you want to open it one more time? I clicked yes and it opened, but I could not open the file (nothing happened). Any ideas or do I have to buy Indesign (I don't really need it right now, but might in the future). Thanks! -- Ray

You need to buy the subscription if you want to keep using the product after the trial period ends.

Thank you. It makes sense I would need to pay for the service once the free trial is done (after all, a free trial implies it is not free after the trial period). What threw me for a loop was InDesign saying, “However, you can use InDesign one more time. Would you like to use InDesign once more?” I click yes, and it opens. However, it would not open my file. I could create a new one, but could not open the old one.

Respectfully,

Ray

Thanks for your reply. I paid for the subscription and got the download prompt. It's downloaded, but when I click on a document, I get the "Begin Free trial" message.
