Duane -
You need an updated version of adesksys.dll. It needs to be placed in the same location
as the acad.exe file on the windows 2000 clients. The link I'm giving you is VERY long
(there's probably a shorter one, but I can always find this one) so watch out for
wrapping.

locate a valid license. The message received when trying to start AutoCAD on the Windows
