So if I had a SQL Server, just one, and had 50 USER Cals with 200 users
but no more then 25 or 30 of the 200 users would be accessing the server
at any given time, then this would okay?

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.

I just have a quick licensing question for SQL, SQL's per seat licensing
is for concurrent connection right?
