Windows 7 academIc no COA?

[hopeful_builder]

Hi all, just about to reinstall windows for a friend ad noticed the COA doesn't have any of the usual license code on the base. The COA is marked as academic? Is there any way to fin out the code so I can use my windows disc and legally activate it?
Thanks in advance
