You can get the Product Key by using one of these free utilities:

http://www.magicaljellybean.com/keyfinder.shtml - Key Finder
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/product_cd_key_viewer.html - Nirsoft Key Finder

Please note that if you have an OEM machine from a company like Dell or
HP the Product Key found by the key finder program will not be the
correct one. For an OEM machine like that you would need to use the
Product Key on the sticker that came with the machine.
