Different question about Norton Security product key

Hello, I ordered Norton Security in its yellow, carton box (physical) by online method of a retailer. The cargo delivered the box today. The yellow, carton box looks like there is significant possibility (not sure) that it (which contains a sheet with a product key, but not an optical disc) has been opened before. I have not tried to start my (this) 1 year Norton Security yet, because I still have 49 days left from my current 1 year Norton Security. I ordered that some early because it had some (about %11) discount that time.

So, the only thing I need: Any suitable method to check if the product key has been used any time before or never has been used; but without starting its 1 year time. (I wish to start using it just after 49 days.)

Note: I have not entered the product key anywhere (like Norton account or any other thing).

Thanks.
