There is no similar UI in SQL 2005. As far as I know, licence is just a legal paper work in SQL 2005.

This has been discussed in many threads here and on the MSDN forums. This UI was removed from SQL2K5. The functionality in SQL2K was passive; meaning, it allowed you to input your license type and number and it stored this information. But the server didn't do anything with the information you entered. There was no validation based on your license key and the server didn't alter behavior based on it. Given this we decided to remove it from SQL2K5.
Cheers,
