Possible fake photpshop disc/serial number.

I recently purchased a photoshop cs6 extended edition disc off ebay for like 90$. I'm fairly certain what i bought is a fake disc and an illegitimate serial number. 

 

The case and printing looks cheap and the images printed on the disc look fuzzy. I don't think I want to try and put the disc into my pc. Is there a way I could verify what I bought is the real deal?

There's a potential that the disc contains malware and other nasties so do not put the disk into the drive, ask for a full refund if you can

The Photography Plan only cost $9.99/month and comes without the nasty surprises

There's no need to even check. It's fake. CS6 hasn't been legitimately sold for many, many years, and pirate copies are all over the net.

 My suspicions are kind of confirmed by the seller saying the SN is disc embedded and automatically applies itself during install.  Im pretty sure No copy of PS does that.
