Depends on how you plan to use Terminal Services.

If you will only be using Terminal Services (TS)for Remote Administration og the server, you do not need any additional licences. However you are limited 2 concurrent TS connections, and connections are limited to users with Administrazative privileges.

If you will be using TS for the purpose of application hosting, in addition to the normal Client Access License (CAL), you will need a Terminal Services CAL for each connection.
Check outthe following page on the Microsoft website: http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/server/howtobuy/pricing/terminal.asp (remove any spaces from the URL)
