The terminal server cannot issue a client license

[Guest]

I get this error on a Win2k server, which is event id 1004. As a result there
are a couple of workstations that cannot connect to the terminal server. What
gives??

Do you have a Terminal Service License Server installed and
activated?
Did you install TS CALs on them (if you have down-level clients)?
Can the Terminal Server locate the Licensing Server?

Yes to all questions. I expect my Mac computer to not be able to connect
anymore since it falls in the category of computers other than Win2k or
better right?

But "yes" to all questions means "yes" to "Did you install TS CALs?".
And in that case, your Mac should get one of these TS CALs, provided
that you have free TS CALs available, of course. Can you check that
in TS Licensing Manager)

I wouldn't dare to say that a Mac is not W2K or better , but you
are right, a Macintosh client needs a purchased TS CAL.
