Hi All,
Will it makes any difference if we choose per seat license instead of processor while installing SQL Server 2000.
Is there any alternate to change it to processor license from Per seat license.
its an urgent issue, please help me in this.
Thanks In adavance.
Thank You.

I am not aware of any means to change from per seat to per processor licensing. I do know the costs of the two are different (per processor costs more).
You really need to look at the costs of the two and how many users (max) will be accessing the database. There is a point where per processor makes sense over per user licensing.

Per Seat for
The Per Seat licensing mode requires a Client Access License for each device that will access SQL Server 2000 Server. Per Seat is often more economical for networks in which clients connect to more than one server.
Processor License for
With Processor licensing, a license is needed for each processor installed on the computer running SQL Server. The Processor License allows any number of devices to access the server, whether through an Intranet or over the Internet.
Using Processor licensing, SQL Server 2000 can take advantage of each installed processor, and support an unlimited number of client devices. A customer that provides access to SQL Server databases over the Internet, or that has a large number of users, will generally choose the Processor License.
About conversion sorry no idea

Hi Chawa,
Yes you can change licensing model, look at the end of this Technet article: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/sql/2000/reskit/part2/c0461.mspx?mfr=true.
HTH!
