Normally you have several resources to find your Retail Product Key.

  1. Your original package or purchase confirmation email
  2. Online download account
  3. You can extract the Product Key from the machine itself
  4. Image copy backups of system with Office installed
  5. Activation backup utilities

I have tried the first 6 in this list with various degrees of success:
