Licensing per user is one option but not the only one and not
necessarily the most cost-effective. Details at:

It is quite normal for users to have different sets of permissions in
different databases. Depending on exactly what admin tasks you want the
administators to take on it may make sense also to have two separate
server instances (on the same machine).
Is there some special reason why you are moving to SQL Server 2000
instead of 2005?

Whenever possible please post enough code to reproduce your problem.
Including CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements usually helps.
State what version of SQL Server you are using and specify the content
of any error messages.
