Upgrade using new SL install disk?

A friend bought a new MacBook Pro, and I am trying to use his install disks to upgrade my computer to Snow Leopard. When I try to install the program, I encounter an error that says "Software cannot be installed on this computer". I have an Intel MacBook Pro with enough memory, so that shouldn't be a problem. Any ideas?

MacBook Pro 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Mac OS X (10.5.5)

If you're trying to use grey discs to install the software on your computer, these discs are machine-specific and will only work with your friend's Mac.

If you have Leopard on your machine, you can get your own copy of Snow Leopard for $29.

Yeah, you need to buy the software, not pirate it.
