That's weird, indeed.
Only reason I can think of is when the user account that is used
to logon to the NT 4.0 workstation does not have the necessary
permissions to update the registry key that holds the license
information. But somehow, this scenario doesn't fit the bill
either. If you have successfully connected from a workstation
(twice), then it has received a license and should be good to go
also for the next user.
But still, could you check that the user has Read & Write
permissions on the registry key mentioned here:

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=187614
While you're at it, have you tried to delete the registry entry
for the license from the client?
