3rd option: install the 2003 licensing server on the 2003 TS itself.
4th option: install the 2003 licensing server on any 2003 machine and
point the TSs to there.

Hmm, so if I'm understanding this correctly my 2 options are
1. upgrade the PDC to 2003 and install the licensing server on it.
2. Downgrade the terminal server to 2000 and install the licensing
server on
the PDC.
both options SUCK! I've always said that licensing just screws over the
honest people.

Can you still buy windows 2000 server?
