Active export licenses

Purpose

The Licenses module tracks active export authorizations your organization holds — not applications in flight. Use it to see remaining capacity and tie transactions to the correct license.

Typical workflow

• Locate the active license and verify remaining value/quantity.
• Link the license from Transactions when export controls require it.
• Drawdown records consumption; overdraw attempts are blocked (golden path 4).
• Acknowledge open alerts per org policy.

Drawdown and overdraw protection

When a transaction consumes license value or quantity, Trade records a drawdown. If a transaction would exceed remaining capacity, the system blocks the action. This is golden-path behavior for overdraw protection.

Positioning caution

License tracking and drawdown are production-real. Trade does not integrate directly with BIS or DDTC portals for automated license sync — administrators maintain active license records in product.

In the browser

• Sidebar → Licenses — confirm the list heading and at least one active row in demo.
• Click a license number — review remaining value/quantity on detail.
• Return to Transactions — locate license requirement or link on a controlled row.
