No. You are allowed to activate your license on as many local, development or staging sites as needed. These kinds of sites do not count against the allowed limit of your license plan.

To activate a license on such a site, browse to Settings > FacetWP > Settings > General, add your key to the “License key” field, and click the “Activate” button. These sites will not show up in your account and do not have to be whitelisted manually, like normal/live sites.

To determine if a site is a local/staging/development site, our account system compares the URL to these URL patterns.
