licensing for single website

Yes you can run your sites like that. You will need 2 different licenses though if they are different code bases and brands.

For testing purposes, I have two instances running in that configuration, under separate virtual directories. They are not setup as subdomains. Both instances run fine using the same license key (for the main domain). How would you generate licenses for each subfolder? When I entered domain.com/folderA the key was created for the main domain only without the subfolder.

Hi Holly, Sop, you have two Kentico instances and each is mapped to a separate virtual application in the IIS? Or, are you running multiple sites in one Kentico and one domain? (documentation)

Anyway, for testing or development purpose it should be OK. However, if those sites will be live and they will be different web presentations, you need to have separate Kentico licenses purchased, although you will be using only one license key.

Yes, there is one domain with multiple instances of Kentico, which are mapped to separate virtual directories and application pools in IIS. These sites will never go live. I provide a trial site for demonstration purposes only. I cannot use the hosted trial provided by Kentico because I have a few code modifications and must host my own trial versions. There is one for each customer, so the user can login and have a look around the sample site. My custom trial sites are deleted every 30 days. Therefore, I assume no additional licenses are required for these disposable trial sites.

Hi Holly,
In this case, please contact your account manager (or sales@kentico.com) and ask for development/testing license key for this purpose. Or, if you have already purchased Kentico license, generate such a license key using the client.kentico.com portal.
