It is easy to get confused about when to write licence and when license. Which spelling you choose depends on whether you are using the word as a noun or a verb, and whether you are following British usage or not. Spell the word with c in British English when using it as a noun, as in driving licence, off-licence, poetic licence. When using it as verb, you should spell it with an s, as in licensed premises. Other varieties of English often follow this rule, except United States English, where the -s- is much more common in both the noun and the verb.

I will choose "licence", Because it is the correct word by grammatically. If you are still confused and want to be asure and want to know more you can go on a site thrugh this link: Improve English Grammer.
I am dem sure you will satisfy with this site because many of the peoples are learning from this site in my companies group in russia.

Interesting but you wrote licence with the same spelling in the first place
