MS once had a doc on line (maybe still does) that showed that SBS is a
"per-seat" licensing model rather than a "per-server" model, which is why
SBS CALs cover access to all Windows servers in the domain. The "per-seat"
model is broken down into "per-user" or "per-device" CALs for SBS, and maybe
even for standard Windows 2003 domains. I'm too tired to look it up right
now!
In a standard 2003 domain (non-SBS), if one has "per-seat" licensing, then
all Windows servers in the domain are covered. Buy 30 CALs, set them up as
"per-seat" licensing mode, and 30 people and/or devices(?) get coverage to
an unlimited number of servers, the same as in SBS-land.

I believe he is asking not about SBS but Windows Server 2003 Standard.
I believe he would do well to ask such questions of other than SBS users.
Short story. SBS CALs differ from 'standard CALs'. Standard CAL
requirements are dependent on 'per server' or 'per user/device'.
SBS _cannot_ answer the question.

Do I need to purchase an additional 50-licenses to connect to an

SBS group, but it's just a licensing question.
Application running on member server authenticates people through
a SBS Domain Controller. Since the users need to connect to say,
port 8350, they still need a license for both the domain
controller and the member server?
So is it correct to say that the user needs a license for both
machines, and not just the domain controller?
Thanks,

No. One SBS CAL fits all of the above (and more).

OK., so the user can access the Exchange server on the domain
controller and connected to the application running on the member
server with one license?
Yes. An SBS CAL covers any number of Windows Servers (* Windows 2008
-> read the fine print). Access to the "Application" itself may have
additional provisions. What is the "application"?

Would this apply to a Windows 2003 domain controller with member
servers?
--tj
Any Windows servers that are members of the SBS domain are covered by the
SBS CALS. Additional servers with SQL, Exchange, and other products may
be covered by the R2 expanded CAL rights. But for just Windows services
and otherwise provided by third party applications, no additional
Microsoft licensing is required.
(The one noted exception is with 2008 after May of 2009.)
