Answer 1

How do we know how many unless we know how the validation works? ;-)

1. Well if you server validated based on time try changing the time in the client and valdate.
2. Change system time (future date) , install app and then change the date to current date and then try validating.
3. Enter the same license key (if any) in two copies and try validating

You might also want to consider using an off-the-shelf license server scheme like FlexNet. This allows your customer to manage your product licensing along many other licensed products.
