SQL CALs are not "concurrent" licences. You need a CAL per device or user
regardless of how many connections are made concurrently. Under the
Server/CAL licensing model you only need one licence per device or user even
if they connect to multiple servers, whether clustered or otherwise.

Yes. Conversely if you have 100 workstations you need 100 device CALs even
if no more than 50 are ever connected concurrently.

From the Licensing FAQ:
Q. Do you still offer per-server (concurrency) CALs?
A. No. SQL Server 2000 is only available by means of a Server plus device
CAL, Server plus user CAL, or a Processor license.
