I have not checked this for a while, so it might have changed.
When you purchased the VS 2003, you had an option to downgrade.
You would request the VS6 media and could use that instead of the
VS 2003. Emphasis on INSTEAD, as once you downgraded you
could only use VS6, not VS 2003. To use VS2003 again you needed
to purchase VS 2003 separately.

As I said, I have not checked lately, this policy may have changed.
