Just the opposite is true! Per-Server licensing would be where you tie a certain number of CALs to the server and that many users/devices can connect to just that server at any given time. These CALs cannot be assigned to any other SQL server while they are tied to the original SQL server.
In Per-Seat licensing, you tie the CALs to specific users or devices which can then access any SQL server. As many users/devices as have CALs can access a given server concurrently. The last option is to buy per-processor licenses, which allows an unlimited number of users (who don't need CALs) to access the SQL server. You probably want to read the SQL Server 2000 Pricing and Licensing White Paper here, and think about whether you want to by Device CALs or User CALs: http://www.microsoft.com/sql/howtobuy/sqlserverlicensing.asp.
