Trade licences

Beginning player with possibly naive question: I can build freighters, but get "insufficient licences" when I try to land them on alien planets. Am I missing some technology that enables licences? Is there a wiki where I can get answers to questions like these?

BTW, I reported a bug where if an AI civ establishes a trade route with one of your planets, it counts against your trade license count. So I had 2 routes and 2 trader citizens, then an AI set up a trade route with me. To establish my 3rd trade route I had to create 2 more trader citizens.

Wow! Thx for this tip on converting citizen to trader. I'm been frustrated by the same. What a relief.

Holy Crap!   I didnt know this.   I thought the only way to add trade licenses was researching trade techs!

This will allow me to get my money situation stable more quickly.
