    Lilian, removing the temporary license from the client will not
    help you. In fact, it will cause you to loose the last 3 days of
    your temporary license.
    The fact that the other clients don't show this warning is
    completely logical, since they just received their temporary
    license, and will be able to connect with it for 90 days. Then
    they will receive the same warning, and eventually be refused to
    connect.
    There is *no* way that you can connect with any client to a 2003
    TS without a 2003 TS Licensing Server, which has 2003 TS CALs
    installed on it, for longer than 90 days.

    Did you ever read the FAQ I mentioned?
