I have no idea what a noun is, and no idea what a verb is

And I use English English, not US English

As has already been covered: LICENCE is a noun (a thing) and LICENSE is a verb (an action) in British English.
In order to remember which is which, think of the alphabet; C comes before S (licenCe and licenSe) and N comes before V (Noun and Verb) so they match. It's the only way I remember and I have to teach English!

I can't remember which is the noun or the verb (but thankfully other people have done this). I can explain for what a noun and a verb are though.
A noun is a thing. Someone said the word 'licence' is a verb. This means that you use the word 'licence' when you are talking about an actual thing. A driving licence that you can hold in your hand.
A verb is a doing word. It is used when I do something, or you do something. Someone said that 'license' is a verb. So it can be used to say 'The judge will license the use of blue headlamps for cars'.
I hope that makes sense. You really should have been taught about nouns and verbs while at school though.

I was taught to say 's..verb ' and 'c..noun' at school over 40 years ago and still say it to myself when using words like licence/license. Of course this assumes you know the difference between a verb and a noun and are using English English and not US English where they use 's' for everything.

licence is the noun and license is the verb. In American English, however, the noun is spelled license. To remember the spellings, think of advice (noun) and advise (verb).

Yes licence is a noun (driver's licence) and license is a verb (you license your vehicle) Not sure whether there is something to remember like e for envelope though.

We are going to have to do the noun / verb thingy a little bit, as that is the difference between the two, but I will try and simplify it for you.
A verb is a doing word, or an action, and is license. So you will go down to the Post Office to LICENSE your car.
And a noun is a thing or a name, and is licence. So when a policeman stops you in your car, he asks to see your driving LICENCE.
The same applies to practise / practice and advise / advice (which is easier as they are pronounced differently.... but this may help you to remember which way round license and licence are).
You go to the golf driving range to PRACTISE your tee shots, but you may go to the PRACTICE ground to PRACTISE your chip shots.
And you can seek ADVICE from a counsellor (as opposed to a councillor!); she may ADVISE you to try hypnotherapy.
I hope this helps.

To grant license or licence is to give permission. License may be granted by a party ("licensor") to another party ("licensee") as an element of an agreement between those parties.
Obtaining a license is required of a number of occupations and professions where maintenance of standards is required to protect public safety, for example physicians, psychologists, and electricians are often licensed by the government or professional societies.
A licence is an academic degree in many European universities which is approximately equivalent to a master's degree. Originally, in order to teach at a university, one needed this degree which, according to its title, gave the bearer a license to teach. The name survived despite the fact that nowadays doctorate is typically needed in order to teach at a university. A person who holds a licence is called a licentiate. Currently, a licence is a middle-level degree between a master's degree and a doctorate.
In some countries, i.e. Poland, a licence is achieved before the master's degree (it takes 3 years of studies to become licentiate and additional 2 years to become master).

Licence is the British spelling and License is the American version. I always get confused with the spellings and it does not help is your computer is set with an american english distionary as it converts everything to the american vbersion making me forget the British version. a website called www2.gsu.edu helps define the differences between american english and british english. Hope this makes sense and i am not waffling too much!!.
