The problem with a " Used copy " of a certain game or software , that's it has been "used" .
So you can't just know if it's a legal copy of a certain game , the key wasn't used or the CD is working probably especially if it's from untrusted source .
I suggest if the problem persist , that your return back the CD and ask for a refund .
And i highly recommend to buy games via stores such as " Steam , origin , ... ETC " .

I have the same problem with Crysis 2. I have previously installed the came on my old PC but now it will not let it to install on my new computer with windows 8.1. I haven't even typed in a registration key or anything, it just will get stuck!
