I lost my check list of my progress of Mass Effect 1 and now I have no clue what shopping licenses I obtained. Any idea how to see what licenses I have received in-game (or else where)?
Shopping Licenses for ME1. Is there a way to find out which one you have?

I don't think there's a way to find out which ones you have.
Hell, most of the time the officer on the lower deck doesn't even carry the items you bought the license for anyway.

You can not buy a licence twice so the one you have can not be bought again. And do not buy those cheap ones, they are useless and only lower the chance of having a good stuff for sale by the officer.

They allow the officer on your ship to have equipment from these companies.

What sort of price level should I look for in a license? I noticed a bunch of 98 credit licenses which might be the cheap ones you referred to.

Yeah, 98 credits is cheap. You want four or five figures, like Armali, Kassa and Ariake. You won't see them show up until late game.

Interesting. I have always just bought every single one I could get my hands on thinking that would 'maximise' the chances of good gear. Are you saying that this is not the case? Lower value licences are to be completely avoided? Clarification would be most appreciated.

The Normandy quartermaster only ever carries a certain number of items at once. So he's got however many available bits of equipment to sell you, each chosen randomly from his pool of available items.
So, if you have Sirta, Elanus, and Ariake, and the quartermaster stocks, say, 30 items at once, he'll carry an average of twenty pieces of useless crap and ten pieces of high-quality Naginata snipers/Mercenary armors. If you don't buy the other two lisences, he'll just have the Ariake stuff, and that's thirty pieces of quality equipment to choose from.
Basically, the more crap you make available to him, the lower the odds that any one equipment slot will be filled by anything you actually want. And since he already starts out with a couple of crap manufacturers, and some slots will always be taken up by Spectre VII/Spectre X weapons once you pick up Rich, the odds are already not in your favor for good armor or amps even before you start buying bad permits.

Mmm yes, that makes complete sense. Thanks for that nugget of wisdom!

Everyone in the game should just give you the best gear. In real life the Council would be dumb as crap to tell a special agent to go around looting dead Geth for cash to buy better stuff at stores.
The Virmire mission is really ridiculous, one of the Salarians is trying to sell you weapons and gear before you go on what is likely a suicide mission for Salarians. Shepard should've been like "just give me the damn gear I need so you don't die." Of course, its an RPG so you have to loot stuff
Anyway, once you get the Spectre Master Gear you don't really need any of the other stuff. I played straight through the single player, didn't do any side quests (all on hardcore, insanity isn't unlocked for some reason) and by the time I was ready to go to Illos I could afford one of each Spectre weapon.
