I hope I'm in the right forum; I started out at stock.adobe.com and got here by clicking a couple links ...
Anyway, I downloaded a picture of a Chinese dragon with the ID 515910371 from StockAdobe some time ago. I decided to purchase an extended license, so that I can incorporate the picture into some designs I want to sell on clothing and accessories.
However, I can no longer find the image on StockAdobe's website.
I uploaded the image to Google Images and did a visual search. It displayed just one result, to a different website - https://www.wiore.com/?category_id=2034837
However, when I clicked on the link, I didn't see the image.
Can anyone help me figure out what this image's status is? I've already placed the image in a book I'm going to publish soon. As long as I have an Adobe ID, then it should be legal, right?

If the contributor stole the image, you are protected by the Adobe indemnification clause, when you are getting a strike, but you may be constraint, depending on the legal situation, to cease using the asset. I'm not a lawyer, I cannot counsel here.
Remark:
The link you posted does not lead to a website with that picture. You should delete that one, or you may be considered spamming the fora.
