More info?)
I get the feeling that we are talking about two different things
here:
There is a Licensing applet on every Windows server, in Control
Panel - Licensing, which takes care of server CALs. These are
unrelated to TS CALs. Since the Licensing applet is notorious for
false warnings, a lot of system managers disable it by default,
and make sure that they have a server CAL for every client.
Starting the Licensing applet should not have any effect on the TS
Licensing Server. Rebooting the TS might have solved your problem,
though, whatever it was.
I'm not sure on which server the Licensing Service is running. But
since your TS runs 2003, the TS Licensing Server must also run on
a 2003 server (can be the same server as the TS).
I would keep a very close eye on the EventLog on the TS and the TS
Licensing Manager, to verify that everything is now working.
