Damaged Product Key on the Label

Hi,

I accidentally damaged product key on the label while I was trying to scratch off it. The product key became unreadable and is never used for activation. It is a system builder OEM Windows 10 Pro 64 bit license purchased in channel.

I wonder if Microsoft can replace it or recover the Product Key? If so, what’s the procedure?

Thank you.
