Pretty much what I thought. I knew about w2k3 being able to dole out w2k
licenses. It's how I do it now. I was hoping I could get away with using
w2k3 licenses on my w2k servers. We just renewed our EA and there are
licensing changes afoot for us. It would be easier for me to just
install w2k3 cals. Oh well, far be it for Microsoft to make it easy for
us.

The short answer is no. But, it is still possible to
dole out 2k TSCals with a 2k3 server. There are 3
different types of licenses that will allow you to do
that. They are:
Windows 2000 TS CALs, Windows 2000 TS Internet
Connector Licenses. Windows 2000 Built-in Licenses.

Yes, a TS CAL is granted with an expiration date
randomly selected between 52 & 89 days from the
current date.
Hope this helps.
