There is nothing you can do except hope you don't need to reinstall
Windows on those two machines. There are numerous free key finders
available but they will only show you the volume licensed key IBM used
in their system image. This is not your license and if you use that
number to reinstall Windows, it will fail. On OEM machines like yours
that have been built with a volume licensed image, your own license is
the Product Key on the COA sticker on the machine.

Possibly you could contact IBM (or Lenovo) for help in getting new
Product Keys.
