FYI: The landscape changed somewhat with w2k3 TS. Excerpt from http://download.microsoft.com/download/2/f/2/2f2dc861-d567-4492-ae88-81a fafa2d08d/Terminal%20Server%20Licensing.doc
"Although it is possible for non-domain controllers to be license servers in Windows Server 2003, it is important to note that domain license servers are not automatically discovered. You must configure a preferred license server on all terminal servers that need to communicate with non-Domain controller license servers configured as domain license servers. Enterprise domain license servers deployed on non-domain controllers are automatically discovered.

It's been a while since I last baby-sat a TS issue, but I believe that if the Site license service is not installed on a DC, then you will have to manually tell EACH TS in your environment how to locate the site license server. You do this through the registry. I don't have a TS server/environment handy to tell you exactly where the key is located. You can, however search the registry for "DomainLicenseServer" (I think) and this should be where you specify the name of the TS License server.
