Since a W2K TS Licensing Server must run on a Domain Controller,
you should install the LS on one of your DCs.
This should not have an impact on your current users. Those
clients that have a valid license at the moment will continue to
use that, until it expires. 7 days before their license expires,
the TS will try to renew the clients license with a Licensing
Server. So the sooner you get a new LS up and running, the better
it will be.

You may have to use the telephone method and contact the
Clearinghouse to get your unused licenses re-issued.
Check the "How do I move my licenses from one server to another"
