Unfortunately your disk is worthless. License keys are uniquely coded to match your vehicle VIN for a specified version of navigation software and are only available from dealers. The dealer obtains the key via computer from MBUSA and must pay for each key when it is obtained. You then receive the key along with the DVD.

Mercedes went to this policy to prevent sharing of navigation update dvds which can be done for 2009 and older vehicles.

Yeah, the last time I updated before recently updating my NAV software, I upgrade the software on my former 2008 C300. Well back then it was $246 for the disk and it was very easy, no dealer interaction after I got the disk. For the S, the disk was $46 bucks, but to get the key was almost $200 bucks from what I remember (or maybe ~$150).
