Pradeep, On the question of the license key: yes, you use the same license key on test and staging.
I'm not aware of a way to limit the number of cores that ColdFusion has access to. If you virtualize your servers with VMWare vSphere, you can limit the number of cores each virtual machine can use, thereby limiting how many cores ColdFusion can use. I've not used the Windows HyperV, so I can't comment on whether it can be similarly configured. If you have Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise edition, you are entitled to run up to four virtual machines under one license (provided you have at most two physical processors in the server).
