There is no specific limit to the number of notebooks you can run. But I strongly suspect what you really want to know is the number of kernels you can run. That is the number of notebooks you can run without having computations in one affect computations in another. This number is a limit set by your license. To determine how many kernels your license allows select the About Mathematica menu item. This is one of the items in the Mathematica menu on a Mac and is found under the Help menu with the Windows operating system. When selected, you will see a window come up with information about Mathematica. Also there will be a button labeled System Information. Clicking on that button will cause another window to appear with detailed system information. In that window, click on the Kernels button at the top to find how many processes are allowed by your license. That will be the answer to your question.
