I need to go from sbs2003 standard to full-blown server/exchange/etc because
I'm going to exceed my 75 licenses due to a new company aquisition. CDW says
all I need is the client transitional license pack, don't I need something
for the server? Is this just a license pack for the server, or is there
actual media involved? A MS part number so I could tell CDW would greatly be
appreciated!

I'm assuming I cannot go from sbs2003 to server r2, I can only to to server
w/sp1?

has the SKUs you need.

Firstly, the server needs the Transition Pack Standard, then you need
Transition CALs for all your existing SBS CALs.
