Well for starters, did you configure a KMS server or did you configure Active Directory activation? Both use a KMS key, but they handle activation very differently so your question can't really be answered as asked.

I configured Active Directory Activation..
If the OS is reporting as activated then things are working as expected. The key" on the client won't match the KMS key on the server. That is by design. Clients use a generic key when activating against AD and the client activation process knows how to process that information. What you describe at a high level, is completely normal.

Then how could we monitor the use of licenses? we can not trace the in used key.
