<p>How can I setup sub domains on a single domain to allow development of multiple Craft client sites. I tried dev1.domain.com and dev2.domain.com and it tells me I need to upgrade license since I need the pro features. Sites are still on development. What is best naming convention?</p>

I think I got it. Looks like dev-site.domain.com works.

Have `staging` or `dev` in the name, as in `blah.dev.domain.com` or `blah.staging.domain.com` It needs to be a full sub-domain, not a partial like you had in your example.
