That warning comes from the License Logging Service for the OS
(server CALs), not Terminal Services CALs.
Assuming that you run W2K or 2003 on your DC, disable the License
Logging Service altogether. This is the default on 2003 SP1.
Documented here:

824196 - Description of the License Logging Service in Windows
Server Operating Systems
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=824196

WARNING: do *not* disable the License Logging Service if your DC
runs SBS!

In all cases, you must make sure that you have a server CAL for
every client / user.
