Can't edit .ai file purchased from Adobe Stock

Question

I just recently licensed two .ai files from Adobe Stock and am unable to edit either of them.

What is the point of having these files if you are unable to edit them?

Files AdobeStock_75864347.ai and AdobeStock_210880129.ai

I have ungrouped the elements, it's almost as if it is a flat image just saved in an .ai file.

Please help!

And it's the most recent version of Illustrator CC 2019

I just downloaded them.

Files AdobeStock_75864347.ai

This looks like it has not been created with Illustrator and gradients got converted to crap.

AdobeStock_210880129.ai actually contains a pixel image. While it's technically an AI/EPS image, it's not vector artwork as one would expect.

I'll alert staff to this and hope it can be settled.

I don't expect that the same artwork exists as vector artwork, so you might want to either draw something yourself or search for a different design.
