lost licence key

I've recently bought a new laptop to replace one with a defective hard disk.
Unfortunately, I have lost the licence key for my Office 2007 OEM suite.
However, I do have the original Microsoft Office 2007 CD. How can I find out
the licence key for my CD to re-install on my new laptop?

You cannot, the OEM licence is tied to the pc it was first installed on,
when that pc dies so does your licence.
If you had simply replaced your hd, or the defective component, you could
have reinstalled
