In our case, they were ALL purchased prior to 2003 Gold release.  It isn't
an enterprise agreement but it is under a volume agreement with SA.  I hope
it turns out to be true as we don't want to stay on 2000 forever.

UH, only of those licenses were purchased prior to the Gold release of 2003
server, and only if they were under like an enterprise license or SA.

We talked to a local software specialist and they indicated that all of our
2000 Pro and XP Pro machines that have a built in CAL and they seemed to
indicate that we could get issued licenses for all of these machines so as
not to have to buy licenses because of the MS Licensing changes.

Has anyone read the new white paper on Windows 2003 TS Licensing? Copied
from Page 4:

"All devices connecting to a terminal server running Windows Server 2003 are
required to have a Windows Server 2003 TS CAL. No operating system,
including Windows 2000 Professional or successor operating system(s) will be
issued a token from the built-in pool."

Does this suck or what?  That means that you either a.  Need a Windows 2000
TSL server, or b.  Purchase a W2k3 TSCAL for every Windows 2000 machine.
