How many stick insects can be kept in one tank?
This depends on how big the tank is, and how big the stick insects are. Generally, the stick insects need enough room to be able to move around, eat and most importantly, shed. A stick insect needs a tank three times the height as it so they have sufficient room when moulting. A moult can go horribly wrong if the stick insect hasn't got enough space.

Some stick insect eggs (ova) can hatch within a matter of months, to a couple of years.

No they don't need a license the only one that does is the Lord Howe Island Stick Insect thought to be extinct for 50Yrs but rediscovered on Balls Pyramid.
Not true if you're in the U.S. Most, if not all, species require a license because of the threat that they'll escape captivity and become an invasive pest. (Despite the fact that cold winters in most parts of the U.S. would kill any that escaped captivity.) Licenses are generally only granted to zoos and universities, so the chance that you'll be able to keep a stick insect as a pet is rather unlikely. Legally, anyway.
