If it was a retail license and you have proof of purchase:

If it was an OEM license, you should contact the computer's
manufacturer.

Er.... That's contradictory. If the software license came with the
computer, it's almost certainly OEM. (The only possible exception would
be the purchase of a second-hand computer with a retail license from a
private party.)
