Your product ID cannot generate your product key. If you lost the packaging with your product key, you will need to get a replacement key.
How to obtain a replacement product key
If the software came preinstalled on your computer, please contact the manufacturer of your computer to obtain a replacement product key.
To replace a Microsoft product ke for a product you purchased separately from your computer, you must contact Microsoft Customer Service and Support. To locate the appropriate telephone number, visit the following Microsoft Web site:
Contact Microsoft (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=fh;EN-US;CNTACTMS)
NO-ONE keeps a record of your product Key except YOU.
Your Product ID is not unique - it probably applies to many thousand other machines.
If you got your Win 7 preinstalled in your machine, the Key is on the COA sticker on teh machine's case. If you bought it as a Retail Pack, it's on a yellow sticker inside the pretty case the disks came in
If you got it as part of an OEM System Builder pack (which actually breaks the SB licensing rules), then you should have attached the sticker to the case.
Assuming you can dind everything (including receipts) except the Key, you *may* be able to persuade MS to part with another one. see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/326246
