It came in a padded envelope. The envelope contains the disk in a plain CD
envelope labeled "Not for resale"
What does the label on the disk look like?
I have two $9.95 up-to-date Snow Leopard discs. They both say "Upgrade DVD" in
fairly large letters.
Have you tried to install it on a disk that doesn't have Leopard installed?
I had no trouble booting off the CD, erasing the HD with Disk Utility, and
doing a fresh install.
That isn't conclusive. The same operation would also have worked with a
Leopard "Upgrade DVD", which does a check for Tiger (or later) at the
point the Installer application runs, before you get a chance to run
Disk Utility.
You also don't need a suitable OS on the same drive - earlier Upgrade
DVDs checked the OS versions on any connected drive.
A conclusive test would be NO operating system (or Tiger only) on ANY
connected hard drive (including no Time Machine backups), then booting
from the Snow Leopard upgrade DVD and seeing whether it will let you
proceed with an installation.
