adding SQL Server licenses to existing system

I've got SQL 2000 Server with 5 CALs and have recently
bought an extra 5 CALs for it. How do I apply the new
CALs to the existing SQL Server?
The only reference to licensing I can find is in Control
Panel->SQL Server 2000 Licensing Setup. This opens the
Choose Licensing Mode form where you can change the number
of devices. This is all well and good, but after changing
this value to 10, I don't have to enter the license number
for the new CALs. Surely this isn't the proper method for
this as the system has no proof that I have more then 5
CALs.
Thanks,
Merle

adding CALs

I still am unable to figure out how to add additional CALs to SQL Server
2000 and I am not able to get an answer from Microsoft without paying
the $250 to talk to support. Do I actually need to tell SQL that I
purchased more CALs or is it just a paper license'Hi,
Which version of SQL Srver you are currently using ? Is that Personal
edition?
Thanks

option. The only way I am familiar with changing that is to uninstall and
reinstall SQL Server.
