In our environment we have a Windows 2003 server acting as the Terminal
Services License Server. We have one Windows 2000 Citrix server and one
Windows 2003 Citrix server. The TS License server shows Existing Windows
2000 Server-terminal Service cal type built-in and temporary licenses for
Windows 2003. My question is if I install licenses for the 2003 citrix
server will that do anything to the built-in windows 2000 cals. The
information I been able to get from our VAR has been very hazy

No, the built-in pool of Windows 2000 TS CALs will not be changed
in any way when you install the 2003 TS CALs.
Before you buy and install the 2003 TS CALs, make sure that you
decide which type you want, Per User or Per Device.
And if you choose Per User TS CALs, make sure that you change the
licensing mode of the 2003 TS (the default licensing mode is Per
Device).
I also recommend to but the licenses with Software Assurance, which
will entitle you to upgrade them to Windows 2008 TS CALs.
