It is license. Many people just don't know how to spell it.

Half the people in here spell "does" as "dose" so that should tell you something.

licence (n.)(v.) Chiefly British Variant of license
So, is it color, or colour? Center or centre? Harbor or harbour?

It's just a matter of where you are in the world (The US, UK or Canada..) just like colour/color recognize/recognise etc.

Licence is the correct spelling in Canada and Britain. License is the American spelling.

US vs UK. Two nations divided by a common language. Love it!

Hi,

You are right, the correct spelling is License. Your Q&A spelling checker will confirm it.

As to why some would mispell it is anyones guess.
