Have you carefully read Stock's Vector requirements? Ditch the text. You don't need it.

Stock will generate the preview image for you at upload— JPEG for opaque images, PNG for files with transparency.
Your native .ai, .eps or .svg file can't be posted in this web forum. But you can convert it to .pdf which this forum supports.

Given the advanced age of CS6 and it's activation servers, you might have reached the activation limit for this product.
Keep using your other laptop and don't do anything to disrupt its current status.
Best advice, start budgeting for new software.

Microsoft no longer supports Win7. It reached 'End of Life' in 2020.
And Win10 will be ending life shortly, on October 14, 2025.
Please refer to this help article about resetting preferences.

Icons, Drawings & Illustrations should most definitely be submitted as Vector Graphics for better sales potential.
Vectors are resolution independent, which means they can be rescaled to any size the customer requires without quality loss. They have more uses than rasters and produce much cleaner, crisper edges. You can't do that with JPEG or PNG files.

Stock is not your Adobe Portfolio site.

It sends a confusing, mixed message. Stock either has a double-standard or the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing.

In the grand scheme of things, 100 assets won't generate much steady side income.
For that to happen, you'll need a portfolio of 6,000 or more assets covering a wide range of subjects that are in demand.
Obviously, this won't happen immediately. It takes time to build a content-rich Portfolio.

Google & other SEs will index new sites within a few days or weeks if you ask them to, providing your pages contain plenty of visible keyword-rich content inside the <body> tag.
Owing to keyword-stuffing abuses in the past, Meta Keywords are largely ignored by SEs. REAL content and a good landing page description are essential. Often that's the first impression people have of you on Search Results Pages (SRPs).

I do the same thing with watercolor & acrylic paints. I use the AI image as an inspiration piece for my own artwork.
There's nothing wrong with that. Technically, you're manually creating a NEW artwork. You own it.
Hope that helps.

Did you compare your work with available content in Stock inventory?
That's probably what it's similar to. 😉
Search Stock by your main keyword(s) BEFORE you submit.
https://stock.adobe.com/search?k="pink+rabbits"
Stock wants unique content that's unlike existing inventory.

2 business days (Thursday & Friday) isn't enough time.
Some banks take 10-15 business days to post transferred funds to your account.
It varies by your bank & region.

Stock rarely accepts B&W images. Customers want full color. If they need to, they can convert a color image to grayscale after purchase.
Also, why are the trees so blurry?
Adobe Stock customers expect the highest visual and technical quality for use in commercial projects.

Quality begins with good lighting, sharp focus, and sufficient color range.
At 100% zoom, this image is drab, soft and lacking color.

There's little to no commercial value for this one.
Compare with current Stock inventory. You're competing with 24.3 MILLION results for Sky with Tree.

I'm guessing this was rejected for "Similar Content." It's not unique.
Adobe Stock inventory already contains more than 320,000 puzzle pieces.
https://stock.adobe.com/search/images?k=3d+puzzle+pieces
Find something to submit that nobody else has thought of.
Make lists of things that interest you. Then compare against current inventory to see if Stock needs it.
Hope that helps.

Adobe Stock is a global assets service. It's where serious professionals source commercial quality artwork for use in professional projects.
This is what you're competing with.
