Yes, then it should be save to uninstall Terminal Services.
Don't forget to enable Remote Desktop for Administration, if you
still have a need to connect to the server remotely (that's done in
Control Panel - System - Remote).

Yes. Most likely, your TS has detected your TS Licensing Server.
Otherwise, it would have complained :-)

A Terminal Server itself doesn't use any licenses!
I retrieves a license from the Licensing Server on behalf of the
connecting client, and then passes it on to the client.

If you start the Terminal Services Licensing Tool on your DC, you
will see how many licenses of each type have been issued, and to
which client.

==> i am NOT able to see the licenses are issued to which clients ...perhaps
i am expecting to see which clients (eg xp + computer name ) was issued a
license ?

I can only see a "summary sum" of licenses issued to Windows 2003 TS with X
number, but i cannot see EXACTLY which operating clients are using it ?

If you select a particular license type in the left-hand pane of
the TS Licensing Manager tool, you'll see in the right-hand pane a
list of clients which have been issued this license, when it was
issued and when it will expire.
