The easiest way, by far, is to simply read the information off the
labels affixed to the packaging of the installation media. If you've an
OEM installation of the OS, its Product Key will be on the CoA label
affixed to the outside of the computer's case.
If you've somehow misplaced this important information, and your system
still runs, you should be able to use Belarc Advisor from
http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html to find the Product Key. (If
you have a factory-installed OEM license, and haven't since reinstalled
the OS, the revealed Product Key is probably of the drive image used at
the factory and not your specific Product Key; therefore, it probably
cannot be -- and definitely should not be -- used for a re-installation.)

Here are four utilities, all of which will display your product keys:
Belarc Advisor: http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html
(It does a good job of providing a wealth of information.)
Also: http://www.magicaljellybean.com/keyfinder.shtml
and: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/product_cd_key_viewer.html
and RockXP: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4138.html which has additional
features
Note: Also check the side of your PC case or bottom of the laptop for the
OEM key code. If there is a sticker with the code it will most likely not
match what is displayed by the utilities mentioned above as OEMs such as
Dell use an internal key code when they build your PC.
The key code on the sticker is for use with your Windows CD
(that hopefully came with your PC)
if you ever need to reinstall Windows.
