You can not take deductions for W-2 job related expenses. Period. Basically, you just have to "suck it up" and that's that.
However, if you made any sales commissions during the year that will be reported to you on a 1099-MISC in box 7. That particular income is self-employment income and gets reported on SCH C. So you "may" be able to claim some of your licensing expenses as a business expense on SCH C.
Note also that if you have W-2 income and the "statutory employee" box is checked on that W-2, then that specific income is actually self-employment income that also gets reported on SCH C. (You just enter the W-2 like you would any other W-2 into the program, and with that statutory employee box checked, the program will "know" this is SCH C income.) Then you can claim any expenses related to "that" income on the SCH C.
Note also that even on SCH C there are some expenses you would think you can claim, but you can not. For example, education required to maintain or improve an existing job skill is a qualified deduction on SCH C. However, if the education was to qualify you for a new trade or business, then it's just flat out not deductible.
