Hello Vince,
First, you need to install the Networker client software in client machine (windows 2003). For detail steps with respect to installing the networker client software you can refer the "networker Installation guide" for the topic "Microsoft Windows Installation" available in EMC power link home page.
Second, You can configure the client instance using "Client backup configuration Wizard".
To access the Client Backup Configuration Wizard:
1. From the Administration window, click Configuration.
2. In the Configuration window, click Clients.
3. Add a client or modify an existing client:
• To add a new client, select Configuration menu > Client BackupConfiguration > New.
• To modify an existing client, select the client and then select Configuration menu > Client Backup Configuration >Modify.
4.Follow the instructions on the wizard pages.
On the Select Files to Back Up page, it is recommended that you select all files for
backup. This is the default selection.
• By default, the option Perform disaster recovery for this client is selected.
Un-selecting this option will exclude the DISASTER_RECOVERY:\ save set
from being backed up, and the VSS SYSTEM save sets will be generated
instead.
• If you are protecting a system that also hosts Active Directory, DFS-R, or
Windows Server Failover Cluster, and you want to have the option to recover
these items online, that is, without performing a disaster recovery, create an
additional client resource for the host and specify the following save sets:
VSS SYSTEM BOOT:\
VSS SYSTEM SERVICES:\
VSS SYSTEM FILESET:\
If you do not specify the previously listed save sets explicitly, Active Directory,
DFS-R, or Windows Server Failover Cluster applications are still recovered
with the DISASTER_RECOVERY:\ save set. However, the
DISASTER_RECOVERY:\ save set can only be recovered with an offline
recovery (Windows DR) operation.
5. Complete the wizard screens as instructed.
For more information you can refer the " Networker administration guide " and "Networker installation guide "
If you require any further information , let us know.
Thank you ,
Vishwanath

If you have single datazone (1 backup server) there is no need to use license manager so you can move licenses to backup server and get rid of license manager.
