Issues updating the dialouge manager

[DGSNAGA]

Hello, I recently decided to upgrade the dialouge manager from 2.2 to 2.8 along with me using Unity version 2019.2.19f1.
Immediately got an error from the input device manager script saying "The type or namespace name 'InputSystem' does not exist in the namespace UnityEngine(are you missing an assembly reference?)" I'm still a bit new programming wise so I pretty much have no idea what's missing or if something changed.
The only other thing was just the location for it. Assets\Plugins\Pixel Crushers\Common\Scripts\UI\InputDeviceManager
Hoping you'll be able to help me.

Hi,

Please select menu item Edit > Project Settings. In the Player > Other Settings section, make sure the Scripting Define Symbols section doesn't contain "USE_NEW_INPUT". As some point you may have ticked the "Use New Input System" checkbox in the Dialogue System's Welcome Window, but your project doesn't have the new Input System installed and activated.
