- BM_LicensesBarterItem - marks item as tradable even without a Trading License
- BM_LicensesIgnoreItem - marks item to be ignored
note 1: LicensesJewelryItem is a single-purpose keyword and does not correspond to VendorItemJewelry per se; an item with LicensesJewelryItem is for detecting possible enchanted jewelry under the Magic License feature, and said item will not pass as Jewelry for Trade Validation with that keyword alone. To flag an item as a tradable jewelry, tag it with either VendorItemJewelry or LicensesBarterItem. For dual purpose Magic License and Trading License, VendorItemJewelry will again be satisfactory, but you can also opt to tag with both BarterItem and JewelryItem for an equivalent Trading License effect. BarterItem naturally considers items in addition to Jewelry, such as cooked and raw food items and any other miscellaneous items you would consider low value as well.
note 2: The above keywords are "override keywords" as your items, even if added via mods, are typically already tagged with a corresponding vanilla VendorItem keyword. These keywords are not equivalents of, and do not replace or ignore, corresponding VendorItem keywords. But they do follow the same filtering sequence/priority. The only keywords unique to Licenses, strictly in terms of functionality within this mod, are LicensesBikiniItem and LicensesIgnoreItem.

Armor License
Restricts items tagged with VendorItemArmor.
Bikini License
Restricts items tagged with VendorItemArmor or VendorItemClothing at all times.
This feature is mostly considered as a filter against Armor License and Clothing License restrictions; it protects player from Armor and Clothing restrictions when license is held and certain items are equipped. Only items with valid keywords qualify for immunity. Provided keywords are processed with OR logic, not AND logic. On that topic, the LicensesBikiniItem is an always-on keyword whereas the EroticArmor keyword from SexLab Aroused is a removable pre-filled option in the MCM. You can create your own list of keywords by separating entries with a comma. Due to MCM text entry limits, long entries need to be imported via the settings.json. LPO limits you to 32 valid keywords (which includes LicensesBikiniItem). Entries that exceed MCM's character limit will not be destroyed unless the array is re-saved via the text box in-game.
Clothing License
Restricts items tagged with VendorItemClothing.
It's like a player-only nudity law. It wouldn't make sense to enable this option if the player is the only one nude. Most appropriately used with kaxat's SES or one of Corsec's non-DD patches.
Magic License
Restricts the following: wielding spells; casting spells; using dragon shouts; using or equipping enchanted items.
Note that Enchanted Clothing qualifies as both a magic and clothing item. Vice versa for all the other applicable item types. A Nullify Magicka curse is available for you to enable. If no valid source is selected for the curse, guards will not fine individuals without the curse. If there is a valid source, however, the player will incur a fine unless they are cursed. The curse can be applied from either a collar or a spell. The former option requires Devious Devices. Since the enchantment is applied to a tangible object, the player is allowed the option to escape this curse while out-of-sight. LPO also integrates with SlaveTats to display tattoos while the player is cursed. The tattoos are not the curse itself; they simply act as indications of an active curse.
Weapon License
Restricts items tagged with any valid vendor weapon keyword.
Excludes staffs but covers ammo. Be sure to un-equip your ammo; Vanilla game auto-equips the player with ammo in some cases, so it's your own responsibility that you don't trigger another license violation should you already be fined for the first instance of ammo-related violation.
Crafting License
Restricts use of all workbench furniture bar cooking pots.
Checker runs once when you enter, once when you exit, and once every 10 seconds while you remain in-furniture without a license. If you find yourself getting caught all the time, try crafting outside settlement locations.
Trading License
Restricts purchase of any items beyond food and jewelry.
Items must not hold enchantments. Also prohibits the player from selling anything. Merchants will nonetheless do business with you, though they will flag you for violation. Likewise, dealing business within sight of town guards is an obvious no-no. Note that, even with a Trading License, players can't buy any equipment they don't also have a license for; players will incur a Trading Violation even if Trading License is disabled. You could try a fence or khajit caravan to trade with you free of restrictions. Equipment trading validation operates adjacent to the Trading License feature and can be disabled separately.
Curfew Exemption
Restricts lollygagging after-hours.
This feature ignores location filters. Curfew start and end times can be changed via the MCM. Internally, LPO waits about 10 seconds after violation detection before flagging you for an active bounty event. The delay helps guard against small player mistakes. Additionally, LPO provides a once-per-day Curfew Leniency pass - guards won't take your gold for the first Curfew Violation of each day. Regardless, once caught, you'll be sent to either the closest inn or the enforcing guard's jail if an inn couldn't be located within a suitable distance from your character. Location overhauls may add inn markers outside city worldspaces; if so, you'll want to disable "Differentiate Worldspaces" if you use the Travel Permit feature.
Travel Permit
Restricts travel outside registered locations.
If you enabled this feature while in Whiterun City, your recorded location is Whiterun City. If enabled in Riverwood, vice versa. This feature is only enforced with both City and Town locations, disregarding your locational filters. Purchasing a permit will allow you free travel out of your recorded location. Ultimately, what happens with this permit feature depends on the circumstances. 1) If you are found safe inside a town or city, or forfeited your permit for an early expiration, you will not incur a fine; 2) If you were discovered outside a settlement location but are confronted inside a settlement, you'll receive a fine while your current location becomes your recorded, enforced location; 3) If you are discovered and confronted outside a settlement location, you may be arrested and sent to Jail. Enforcement ignores locational filters. If enabled, followers will allow you immunity from Travel rules.
Life Insurance
Restricts primary license privileges.
Enabling the Insurance option causes guards to ignore primary license rules unless you also have an insurance on-hand. For example, guards will flag you for an Armor Violation even if you have an Armor License. However, if you do have an Insurance, you'll be protected from item confiscations regardless of your other license validities. Holding a Life Insurance along with an equipment license will allow you to resume standard privileges with applicable equipment. Beware that Insurance prices are variable by way of two modifiers. These multipliers cannot be disabled, and only the misbehavior modifier can be reset when disabling the mod as a whole.
Whore License
Restricts prostitution.
Dummy feature. LPO mainly handles purchase and expiry. External scripts may optionally flag a Whore Violation for LPO to handle punishment. Check utility script for integration. The following are mods known to integrate with LPO for this feature: Devious Interests by Taki17; SES2 by kaxat; Simple Player Prostitution by mort65; TDF Enhanced Prostitution by Horred.
Collar Exemption
Enforces collars.
Enabling this feature will require you to wear a Devious Devices collar. LPO checks for items tagged with zad_DeviousCollar. Guards will automatically equip you with a collar should they catch you without one, regardless of if you've enabled the option to equip restraints on license violation. Guards will remove your collar after you purchase an exemption. However, if you've designated a collar as your Nullify Magicka curse source, guards will instead disenchant your collar.
