Hm, looks like you can't even equip that yet. Know why? You don't have the License for it. Think of Licenses as mile posts, marking your progress as your combat skills improve. Swords, Bows, Black Magicks, White Magicks... None of it does you a lick of good until you have the License to use it.
Tomaj
The License Board is the ability system used in Final Fantasy XII, which forms the basis of the job system. It was created by Hiroyuki Ito, the game's director. The system consists of different tiled boards for each job with hundreds of squares, each square representing an ability, spell, equipment piece or augment. By defeating enemies in battle, characters earn License Points, abbreviated LP. Characters must spend their LP to activate squares on the License Board, granting them access to new abilities and allowing them to equip stronger weapons and armor.
The original License Board is identical for all six characters in the original release, while in the Zodiac versions, differs for each job. Some licenses also cost different number of license points when compared to the original.
Mechanics
The License Board is a checkered board, with numerous squares each relating to a license. All squares on the board are initially blank, only stating a generic alignment (weapon, technick, augment, etc). Licenses the player already has appear solid, while squares adjacent to already activated squares appear glowing with a number on them indicating the amount of LP needed to activate them, and display what equipment pieces or abilities are connected to that square. When a player takes a new license, it turns solid and the licenses above, below and to the sides of the new license light up. Only licenses lit up in this fashion may be activated, as opposed to being able to activate any square any time.
The License Board is not a standard square, and there are multiple boards relating to specific jobs (as opposed to the original release).
While most licenses are available to all players, an exception is made for Summons and Quickenings. These squares appear for all characters until activated, at which point the square vanishes from the boards of the other characters. This means only one character may acquire a summon, and each Quickening license may only be taken once. Summon licenses also have to be unlocked, in all cases by beating the respective Esper in battle.
Each board only has four, but learning a Quickening license with any character doesn't affect other characters License Boards, instead, when a character learn the third Quickening license, the last one disappears, making things a little tricky, because the Quickening licenses often makes a bridge to some other licenses.
License Points are earned towards activating squares by defeating enemies in battle. With the exception of rarer and stronger enemies including bosses, most enemies give a single LP. Enemies killed by Poach or Zalera's Kill do not give LP. Unlike Experience Points, all characters gain LP regardless of if they are in the active party or not.
Unlocking all licenses, including three Quickenings, requires 13,330 LP. This does not include the Esper licenses, which together cost 805 LP. Upon completing every character's License Board, including the Espers and Quickenings, the player earns Rasler's icon in the Sky Pirate's Den. In The Zodiac Age, the "Conqueror" trophy is unlocked for acquiring 48,000 total LP.
Board
The License Board is significantly revamped compared to the original version. When a character joins the party, the player can assign him/her one of twelve jobs. Unlike the original game where all characters had identical License Boards, each of the twelve jobs in the Zodiac versions have a different board. Once a character chooses a job, they cannot change it.
Characters also start with a number of licenses which remain even after a job has been chosen. In International Zodiac Job System version (exclusive to Japan), the player can choose one License Board for each player character, which is then locked in place and cannot be changed
In the Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age, each player character can have two License Boards. Once a character unlocks "Second Board" on the License Board, they can select a second job to complement their abilities. Licenses are shared between boards owned by the same character; activating one will activate the corresponding one on the other boards as well. As the jobs were originally designed to stand on their own, there are no "bad" combinations, as choosing a second board will never make a character worse. In general, combining fast and light jobs with slow and heavy ones works well, to give the lighter job more sturdiness and make the heavy job faster and more versatile. Though there are twelve boards and six characters who can each have two boards, the player doesn't need to divide all boards evenly and use all of them; the same board can be used by more than one character, as often a board has good synergy with many different combinations.

Players may opt to play without assigning their characters jobs, but the characters will not learn new abilities. Multiple characters can share the same job but this is not recommended since some Esper licenses are required to connect with the licenses which are separated from the main area of the board. This means only one character who shares the same job with another can access the license(s) on each separated section. This rule does not apply to Quickening licenses.
Also, any unlit licenses can be viewed without activating their adjacent license.

Development
Final Fantasy XII was initially envisioned as having a job system, but the idea was scrapped when the developers thought it too confusing to players and the ideas were condensed into the License Board seen in the final game.[1] The battle director, Hiroyuki Ito, wanted a system that gave the player a lot of freedom to develop characters how they wanted to, but simultaneously keep it from becoming overly complicated. By putting it into a board layout and giving the player a visual cue to see which direction they were developing a character in, he felt he was able to strike a good balance between the freedom.[2]
Hiroyuki Ito, who was appointed as the game's director along with Hiroshi Minagawa after Yasumi Matsuno left the project, has commented that the plan was for players to customize their characters freely using the board, however, what players did instead was to just acquire every license, not differentiating the characters as the developers had intended.
Seeing this, the developers went back to their original idea of using a job system for the Final Fantasy XII International Zodiac Job System version. With the system where the player can't change their mind after having chosen a job, Itō wanted to call back to the games of the past where players couldn't redo things even by resetting the game, to recreate this kind of feeling of tension and finality.
With the International version, I was determined to get players to experience that "flavor", focusing on a different style for each player. Thinking about how to implement that, a different license board for each job seemed to be the best. I didn't want to have a kind of [forgiving] 'suspended sentence' system where players could make changes in midstream; I wanted to make it so that they couldn't advance without making a decision at each point.
Hiroyuki Itō
The idea to use twelve jobs came about because the game is the twelfth main installment to the series, and because there are also twelve zodiac signs, a recurring theme in Ivalice.[1] The game already had fifteen different types of weapons in place, and the jobs were planned around the idea that what kind of weapon would belong to what kind of job.[1]

Etymology
The License Board is part of the Zodiac Job System in the Zodiac versions. zodiac is a circle of twelve 30° divisions of celestial longitude that are centered upon the ecliptic: the apparent path of the Sun across the celestial sphere over the course of the year.
In both astrology and historical astronomy, theThe term zodiac derives from Latin zōdiacus, which comes from the Greek ζῳδιακὸς κύκλος (zōdiakos kyklos), meaning "circle of animals", as half of the signs of the classical Greek zodiac are represented as animals (besides two mythological hybrids).
Trivia
- A slightly modified version of the original single License Board board exists in the files for The Zodiac Age PC version. It isn't officially supported and requires hacking the game to get at it. This version of the original board doesn't include any licenses added for the Zodiac versions. Using this board would not be the same as playing the original, however, as the game still has no damage cap or spell queue.
