The clients are pointed to the correct KMS server, I'm just curious why the
numbers vary so much. This is where we are currently:

Key Management Service is enabled on this machine
Current count: 17
Listening on Port: xxxx
DNS publishing disabled
KMS priority: Normal

Key Management Service cumulative requests received from clients
Total requests received: 266
Failed requests received: 4
Requests with License Status Unlicensed: 0
Requests with License Status Licensed: 103
Requests with License Status Initial grace period: 163
Requests with License Status License expired or Hardware out of
tolerance: 0

Requests with License Status Non-genuine grace period: 0
Requests with License Status Notification: 0

I just don't get why my current count is 17, yet I show 266 requests, and
103 licensed clients.
