Write a PL/SQL function which takes the licence_id as argument and returns a 
varchar2(... what you deem sufficient, up to 32K).
In the function, loop on the appropriate table and concatenate. 
When you run
    select licence_id, my_ugly_func(licence_id) softwares
    from ...

you more or less get what you want. Performance will even be decent if you have 
indexed by licence_id.
