License manager doesn't show me what SQL Server 2000 license are available. In fact it isn't in the list at all. I have it set up for Per Seat licensing. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.

It won't. Per seat means that each client must be licensed. This means you must purchase a CAL for each client that conencts to SQL Server. This is an administrative and legal document, not something you enter into the system. CHeck with your accountant.

You mean I can't even find out what Clients are currently licensed. You can with the old SQL Server 7.0 and back using License Manager.

Even with SQL Server 7.0 you could have instances where you couldn't view CALs via SQL Server. For instance, if an organization purchased 100 Back Office CALs... Typically, if you have a licensing server set up (usually a DC, but not always), that's how you track licenses electronically. But even with that said, it's only as good as it is up-to-date.
Steve is right (as usual) that this is more an administrative and legal process, because even if you don't have the licensing server, you can still prove to Microsoft that you have proper licensing by showing purchases, etc.
