Hi,
Will try to cover everything:
Running Conductor without a release key was introduced in XC2.1:
http://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/td/docs/telepresence/infrastructure/conductor/release_note/TelePresence-Conductor-Release-Notes-XC2-3.pdf See Page 7
New features in XC2.1
Limited system capacity when running without a release key
The TelePresence Conductor can be run without a release key. In this mode the system capacity is
limited; only a single un-clustered conference bridge can be enabled and the TelePresence Conductor cannot
be clustered.
Where the TelePresence Conductor has no release key, only "community support" is available. This is a self
/ collaborative support effort, using technical forums like
https://supportforums.cisco.com/community/netpro/collaboration-voice-video/telepresence. TAC support is
only available for TelePresence Conductors that have a release key; for further details see
https://www.cisco.com/web/services/portfolio/product-technical-support/index.html.
----
on Demo screen licenses for Telepresence server, I would advise contacting your account team to request demo licenses.
On the vTPS requirements, you can run the vTPS at reduced requirements which allows a max of 4 screen licenses.
http://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/td/docs/telepresence/infrastructure/ts/release_note/Cisco-TelePresence-Server-Software-Release-Notes-4-0-1-57.pdf see page 14 for the changes in OVA template requirements and differences between the two deployment requirements.

* I have edited this post - Demo TPS screen licenses do exist, please see your account team to request these.
