I have two homes which I spend equal time at per year. I have two vehicles registered in different states. I also have two licenses, one in each state.

So I basically need to pick a state I want to be licensed in and I legally can still have both vehicles registered in different states? I wont be ticketed for driving my FL registered vehicle with a NY drivers license?

Oy, some of these answers are wrong.
Yes, two different licenses at one time is very much illegal. You need to pick a state.
Two different houses? Not a problem at all. Think snowbirds: older people that have a summer home and a winter home. They can do it and so can you.
As for the vehicles, that's actually fine as well, so long as the vehicle is registered in the state it's left in. You're required by both states to register a vehicle that stays in it's state, so how could that be illegal? NY would make you have the vehicle kept there registered in NY, and the other state would do the same thing by state law. Snowbirds do this as well.

You're allowed one, and only one license. And that needs to be in your home state. That would be the one you send a check to on April 15th to pay your state taxes, and don't try to tell me you pay in both states.
I find it hard to believe you have more than one license, the computer should have caught that and made one (or perhaps both) not valid.
Also it would raise a red flag if you answered "Which state?" when your insurance agent asks about your drivers license number.
I suspect you are being less than truthful here, and are asking a hypothetical question for what ever reason.
Added: Actually, for the benefit of snow birds, Florida does hand out a license clearly marked "Valid in Florida only" and allows you to keep your home state license, so if perchance you have one of those, you would be okay to drive in Florida, but it wouldn't be valid in any other state.

Having two drivers licenses is illegal. Driving a car registered to you with NY plates and a Fl drivers license is illegal. I got stopped in Florida when I first moved there from Ohio. I had gotten my FL plates but not my drivers license changed over. Luckily I got a warning. If the officer that stops you for anything sees two drivers licenses, you will be cited and possibly arrested. I am thinking your story is a sham. Florida does computer checks on Drivers licenses.
