If what you purchased came with 5 client licenses for TS, then you'd have a license certificate for that product and would be able to input the key into the License Manager Control Panel.
What did you buy? A windows 2003 Server comes with licenses (usually 5) that allow a user to logon to that server, but in order to use Terminal Services in application mode you need separate licenses and a TS Licensing server (this can be on the same server as you are connecting to, and it is included on the installation CD's). If you did buy the TS licenses, then your issue should be no problem, as once the current temporary license has expired, the server should issue a new one.

It depends. If you are the only user of TS and are the administrator, you can run TS on the server in administrator mode. For that you don't need any extra licenses, but in admin mode you can only have 2 connections at the same time. But if you need normal users connecting to TS, you need extra licenses. I don't know the price, ask your m$ vendor where you got the server software.
The issue that you are explaining to us is the operating system,if you are using windows 2000, and windows xp pro the TS license come with the OS but any other operating system you will have to purchase the licenses and install them on the server.
Alot of people have a seperate windows 2000 server in application mode that they use for terminal server access that sits on the network and acts as the point of entry for the users who are Terminal Servering in. Windows 2003 SBS does allow only 2 connections for users with Admin to the server in but only 2. This is the rational for the windows 2000 server in application mode acting as the Terminal Server point of access which allows as many users to sign in as long as you have purchased the correct amout of licenses. This is probably a better way since if the users (depending on their permission and access) who may be coming in might shutdown the server accidently or download something that could cause the server to go down disabling the company til the server comes back up.
