Don't understand KMS Activation IDs - They don't match between EventLog and SLMGR

We have a KMS host that licenses our Microsoft products, Windows 7, Office, and Windows 2008. I have a tool that extracts all the KMS event log entries so you can parse them out and see what is being activated, etc.

The problem I have is that the report shows 7 different activation IDs. If I compare those activation IDs to output of slmgr command, I can only match up one of the activation IDs: "Windows Server(R), ServerStandard edition"

I have clients getting activated, such as Windows 7 and Office, but none of the activation IDs match. Can anyone explain this to me?

Thanks,

James
