Is it possible to have the treminal services licensing server in a Win 2000 domain reside on a non domain controller or on the same server that terminal services is installed on which is not a domain controller?
 
According to the official Microsoft documentation, this is not
possible.
But there is an undocumented way to do this:
If you start the TS licensing service with a -nodc switch you can
run it on any 2000 member server.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services
\TermServLicensing

Modify the ImagePath value to
"%SystemRoot%\System32\lserver.exe -nodc"

You might also have to point the 200 TS to the LS:
