Hi TT,

I'm by no means an expert in this subject matter of CALs, but I'll try to
assist you to the best of my ability. Unfortunately from the
interpretations of links below, the answer would be No.

Q.Why are you retiring Windows 2000 Server & Windows 2000 Advanced Server?

A.With the release of Windows Server 2003 earlier this year and after nearly
four years in the marketplace, Windows 2000 Server, Windows 2000 Advanced
Server and Windows 2000 Server Client Access Licenses (CALs) will be retired
in phases. Customers who are in need of a copy of Windows 2000 Server,
Advanced Server or CALs can obtain a copy of Windows Server 2003 and
exercise their downgrade rights.
