You are confusing the rdp client with the Server OS.
A Windows 2000 Server can run Terminal Services in 2 modes:
1. Remote Administration mode, which allows for a maximum of 2
concurrent connections, only available to administrators, and
without additional licensing requirements
2. Application Server mode, which allows for an unlimited amount of
connections for normal users, but requires a TS CAL for each
connecting device (W2K pro and XP Pro clients receive a free TS
CAL).
