Licence is a noun.
License is a verb.

I've never come across licenced spelt "licensed", maybe I just live a very sheltered life!
Licence in my dictionary and my drivers licence are both spelt with a c and not an s.

It grew to become into his earlier provider that supposedly qualified him. , of path, the books and movie are fiction so Ian grew to become into unfastened to make up his own rules to maintain the plot shifting. in fact, in novels and movies, they are time-honored as "plot gadgets" for that reason. .
