There won't be any licensing issue if you are not using a test copy for real production and more than 30 days.

X-Payments upgrade is much easier than X-Cart's one. See http://help.x-cart.com/index.php?title=X-Payments:Upgrading
It is re-writing of files mostly + a couple of small changes.
You should be able to upgrade X-Payments yourself, but if you want to use a new clean install - why not. Just remove the redundant copy when you are done.

As I said above X-Payments upgrade differs a lot from X-Cart one. Mostly due to the fact that X-Payments is not a customizable software due to PA-DSS certified status.
