I have a legal copy of MSOffice 2070 and 2016. But because I was off sick for several weeks, I lost the product ID for both products. Since I have had them installed on my PC Wouldn't at least on of those IDs are some place on my hard drive or even in the registry ?
If so, is there some sort of an app that would find it for me? Thanks,,Frank
belarc can retrieve your "product key" for Office 2007. I have no idea about Office 2016 - have a look around the Belarc website to see if they claim to be able to do so.
Notes
1 If you subscribe to Office 365 rather than having made an outright purchase of Office 2016, I think what you need is just your Outlook.com account login rather than any Product key.
2 Don't say "product ID". This term exists and means something completely different.

Ummmm..... just curious.... how does being off sick for several weeks cause one to lose their MS Office product keys?
This article on finding Microsoft office product keys was updated in January 2019:
How to Find Microsoft Office Product Keys
Hello—NavyLCDR: It may be hard to
believe, but I did truly have copies of the two Office apps that I
fully paid for. To understand how I could have lost the product keys,
you first have to understand the reasons I was in and out of the
hospital for about 4 to 6 weeks. My condition was such that my family
and I did not know if I would survive. While in such a state for 3
weeks it's easy to forget things as to what you did with them or
where you put them. So, I have no idea what I did with them. Also I
am now a permanent resident in a nursing home. In a place like this
it's difficult to put everything in it's proper places. I hope this
satisfies your curiosity. I really did not mean for this to sound
like a cockie answer, but you came across as you couldn't believe me
when I said I lost them. If I took you wrong, I apologize and wish you a best day. Frank
