how to open plastic packaging?

The plastic tag just pulled out and nothing happened - my case is still
clammed shut - is there any way to open the case without destroying it? I've
been using the trial version of the software for over a month and love it -
bought the ultimate packages, but can't figure out how to get it out of the
box.........

as it turns out I just had to cut that clear plastic (round) sticker at the
edges
and then pull on the red tag and it opens/pivots out

didn't even break a nail :-)

I tried pinching the two inset tabs but nothing happened.

the package looks like its hinged

there is a clear plastic sticker over the genuin MS product label
so I'm afraid to peel that off because I don't know if it
ruins the genuine label.

oh well, I try some more, don't want to wait for an answer...

Turn on some bright lights. There's clear tape going around the edge.

I didn't see a date but... And it can be a PITA to open the case unless
you're using a bright light. (Yes, this is the voice of experience.)
