The license is stored in the database and not in the service instances. So - no this is not possible with the current design.

However, the service instance reads the license when it is started. So it is possible to have one license in the database and start one instance, replace the license and start the other.

This can be done with powershell. Change the startup method for the service to 'Manual' and use a powershell script to start the service.

Set-NAVServerInstance -ServiceInstance <InstanceName> -Start
Import-NAVServerLicense -Service Instance <InstanceName> -LicenseFile <FileName>

Actually you can, but you need to hack NAV and I didn't try it out yet with NAV2013 R2 and I don't know if it will work in the future.
