How will I know? Server 2008 standard 32/64 bit is legitimate

I bought Server 2008 standard 5 CAL 32/64 bit some time ago, but I just installed it.

I broke the seal (cellophain) plastic and seal of security and the open the plastic box where he had two DVDs and "getting Started" guide. The activation code (tag) was in place.

But after installing and trying to activate the product via the Internet, he said that the code was already in use. I unplugged the network cable for the "other" ways to activate and tried the phone and he said: "the product was not valid" after reading all numbers to the phone machine.

How can I really know if this IS a genuine copy? Without buy directly from Microsoft. It seems legit to me, it's the same as what is on the shelf at Fry's electronics. If I knew how to send a page here I would take a photo of the box, to show you...
