Bottom of sleeve:
(too much to type)
Opening the plastic DVD case means that you have to break the authenticity seal on the top of the case. It's designed to split down the middle.
Painfully, when it comes to removing the actual DVDs, there is only one opening for a finger to get under the edge of the disc, on one side only. So grasping the discs and removing them is going to be a tricky chore.
(I can't help but wonder if the cases were designed incorrectly.)
The discs are marked:
Upgrade
32-bit software (or 64-bit software)
Includes Windows Anytime Upgrade
This program will search your system to confirm your eligibility for this upgrade.
Do not lend or make illegal copies.
