MS Office Label appears tampered

S

Saman

I downloaded MS Office 2007 Home and Student and also paid for a back-up CD.
I just received the CD in the post and in the CD Pocket the sticker is torn
from the center, a chunk of it is missing where there is the silver foil
line.
Below the sticker it says I should go to www.microsoft.genuine if the label
appears tampered with. I was unable to find help on this subject from that
web-site. What am I supposed to do?
Thanks in advance,
Saman.

The left side of the COA contains a transparent Port-Holeâ„¢ with
individual paper fibers visible around the inside edge. Interwoven
vertically through this porthole is a metallic thread with well defined
letters that read "OUR PASSION" in red and "MICROSOFT".
One way to check whether your COA is genuine is to gently rip
the edge of the COA to determine that the thread is actually
interwoven into the fibers of the label rather than printed on top.
