In British usage, 'licence' is the noun and 'license' the verb. (Same as for 'practice'/'practise'.) US usage is to spell both forms with an S.

I used to help voluntary in a primary school about 10 years ago showing young kids how to use a computer and some of the problems like the spelling of words in MS Word.

I showed them the following poem

Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea
Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh
As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the error rite
It is rare lea ever wrong
Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect awl the weigh
My chequer tolled me sew.

.
Lost in translation I think.
