Have you checked the EventLog on the Terminal Server?
If you don't see any warnings there, you might not have a problem
at all.
Per User licenses are currently unmanged, which means that your Per
User TS CAL count will not be decremented. Check this article,
which documents this behaviour:

822134 - The Function of Terminal Server CALs in Windows Server
2003
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=822134

If you do see warnings in the EventLog regarding licensing, please
repost here with the EventID.
