Some licenses have prerequisites, needing you to own other licenses before becoming purchasable themselves.

Before deciding on a purchase, you can print a license sample at a career manager for more information, to see its effect on copay, time bonus, or prerequisites, for example. You can only buy licenses if you have no pending fees.

When a license is purchased, it is issued as a printed document. You don't need to have license documents on you to use it, and can safely keep it stored somewhere, such as in a tool shed , or at home .

Licenses are only available in career mode , but acquiring some, such as those giving access to certain locomotives, makes those locomotives available in sandbox mode , too.
