The Licence Trade building controls how many licences you can hold at once, up to a maximum of 6. Owning a licence increases your income for a specific good—adding extra money per tonne delivered to any location.
The duration of each licence depends on the game world's speed:
x1 speed: 48 hours
x2 speed: 24 hours
x4 speed: 12 hours
Once a licence expires, you must obtain a new one to continue receiving the bonus.
Upgrading the Licence Trade building increases the number of licences you can own. On faster worlds, the upgrade time is reduced:
x2 speed: 50% shorter
x4 speed: 75% shorter

Level 2: Upgrade cost $250,000, Time 00:10:00, Prestige 10, Max licences: 2
