You'll need to delete the information from all license servers in your
enterprise that participate in replication of the licensing information.
It sounds like another machine has that information in its database and is
replicating that information to the site license server.
Below is an article that outlines how to reset it through an enterprise.
It's an NT4.0 article but I believe it should work in 2000.

The most comprehensive information you will see on licensing is included in
the Help Topics for Licensing. That provides more detailed information
about licensing than any kb article or other document I can think of.
