I can connect to the terminal server and have no problem with it. But my users have called me about an error in the licensing protocol on their connections.

There appear to be as many as 33 Knowledge Base documents available regarding "Remote Desktop licensing", but of those I like these:
om/kb/8241 96/en-us
om/kb/3298 96/en-us
om/kb/3235 97/en-us
om/kb/2705 88/en-us
"Description of the License Logging Service in Windows Server operating systems"
http://support.microsoft.c
"Because of a security error, the client could not connect to the Terminal Server"
http://support.microsoft.c
"Windows XP Clients Cannot Connect to a Windows 2000 Terminal Services Server"
http://support.microsoft.c
"Remote Desktop Protocol Clients Cannot Connect to Terminal Services Server"
http://support.microsoft.c
To troubleshoot the issue more effectively you would need to report Event Viewer entries and the EXACT wording of the error message being seen by the end user. Additional information is certainly available through Experts-Exchange solved issues archive and online with Microsoft Community Discussion Groups.
