As stated in the article linked below, Pantone’s licensing with Adobe got changed.
Due to this change, customers will need to purchase Pantone Connect licenses to access Pantone colors in Adobe Creative Cloud products.

Alas, this is the world today.

If you have a Pantone swatch book, find the serial number (usually in bold, black letters on the bottom of one of the first pages of your book or fan) and register it with Pantone. Then you'll be able to download their Color Manager at no additional cost. Once that's been activated (using the same serial number you just used), click on the Fan Deck icon (bottom right) in the Color Manager app and select which color book you want to update or install. Once it's selected, you'll click File > Export > Photoshop/inDesign/Illustrator> and your print choice. (L*A*B for print, RGB for web). Then your Adobe application will be updated and you can find the newer colors and additional color books in your program for use.
It took me longer to find the serial number in the book than it did to export all of the new color books to Illustrator!
