The product key is usually included with your software product package (this is if you have a valid license to the software).
You can find your product key on a sticker attached to your computer system, if your software was pre installed on your computer. But if the software was bought you should find the product key on the product pack of your software. If it cannot be located anywhere then you will have to contact your software manufacturer.
