Hello Grant,
That list is of the possible licenses for the that install.
So the active one is the installed license.
You can change that by running slmgr -ipk xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx
where xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx is your MAK product key
If you installed over an existing install, you will have to change the
product key to a MAK since the default product key with an installation is
to use teh generic kms client key.
Thanks,
Darrell Gorter[MSFT]
