    Ahhh has he gone to go and sulk???

    well here's some help

    Let me Google that for you

    and even more helpful, 2 of the top 3 results (the 2nd isn't worth looking at)

    Top Result - Contractor's License Reference Site - to save you clicking, it's a map of the United States of America, that's that little small country "across the pond" from the Contractor Uk (stands for United Kingdom) IT forum's home. It says in really big writing (to prevent you from straining your eyes obviously, "Click on a State to See License Requirements or Find Out if A Contractor is Licensed in That State", lord knows what that says but t's worth a o at clicking wherever it is the hole you crawled out from is part of and see what happens.. go on, i dare ya..

    3rd place - What is a Contractor's License? - again to save your chubby little american fingers I'll sumarise the site for ya, in the first paragraph (i know I said we're on the 3rd place result but it's the first paragraph so try and keep up with all these numbers)
    A Contractor's license gives a building contractor the ability to state that they are licensed. In many states, licensing requirements are similar, but state building laws vary. If one is already licensed in a single state, in order to claim licensing in another state, usually a person must undergo the same examinations and testing to receive a contractor's license.

    The Contractor’s license may be for general construction, or may be obtained for specialized fields, such as plumbing, painting or knowledge of heating and cooling systems like HVAC. Hiring a licensed Contractor tends to assure that one is getting someone with knowledge of state laws regarding building, and has a greater degree of experience.
    Too long a quote for ya? well in short it says that it's related to builders (they're the people who make buildings, not computer software liek those on this forum) in the United States or USA if you're not used to the long version which (and I'm sorry to repeat this) is not based anywhere near the UK or United Kingdom or "that little small place across the pond".

    Anyways the website goes on to say that it "protects both the contractor and would-be employers. If a worker with a contractor’s license performs shoddy work, or builds any type of building that does not come up to code"..

    there ya go, that should answer all your questions on the subject all we have to do now is ask you to bend over and after I've wiped your @ss for ya we'll bring along a friend of our's called HAB.. the invoice is in the post.. enjoy HAB, do you like films with gladiators in?

    HAB !!!

    He probably doesn't have one - if he'd googled his question he'd know that not only is it not for IT contractors, it's not for UK IT contractors at that...
