A 2K3 license server can dish out 2K cals as well as 2K3 cals if that's what you are asking, mine is doing both. It all depends on your environment, the licenses you have installed and your desired outcome.
There are even group policy settings to configure the behavior, for example you can prohibit a licensing server from ever using a Windows 2003 TS CAL for a Windows 2000 environment.

If I look at that, all I see is that it has issued temp licenses and not used any of the 100 device cals. Consequently we have a user who is reporting that he gets a "your temp license will expire in 4 days". As far as I can gather this is correct as from my understating the first connection gets a grace period cal for 90 days. This would seem right cos his temp license has 4 days until the expiration and has been valid form 3 months ago (minus 4 days). The things that's getting me is that we have 34 temp licenses been issued and none of Windows 2000 Server - TS Per Device CAL of which we have 100 provided by our ent agreement Volume license are in use or being issued. The following article (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=822134) is interesting but im yet to make much sense of it or confirm what is happening. Very interestingly if I go into TS configuration\Server Settings \ Licensing mode it is set for Remote Desktop fro Administration which to me doesn't seem right, I would have thought it should say either per device or per user. One more thing I would through into the mix is that our previous license server was win2k, however this is a new box. Lastly if I start an app via nfuse/citrix and then go and check the licensing server there seems to be no license issued to me. I'm not much on TS and Citrix yet so any pointers would be appreciated.
