will 2003 TS Servers work with 2008 CALs?

[uber]

I just upgraded my TS Lic server to 2008, and have 150x 2003 TS CALs
installed on it and issuing the 2003 CALs to my existing TS Farm (all 2003R2).
I have a new 2008 TS Server online that sees the server but does not see any
2008 CALs, because they are only 2003.
I do have SA so I should be able to upgrade the CALs to 2008, correct?

But, I will need to keep my 2003R2 TS servers for some time, so will the
2008 CALs work for the 2003 farm?

Thanks
