Licence is the noun and license is the verb.

I thought so! Stupid word, telling me I was wrong
thanks

Therefore a licensing department can issue you with a licence.

I think in the US the noun is also license though.

that would explain it
"organiZation" indeed!

Yep, mine does the same. Must have the US spelling setting on. Keeps changing s to z too i.e. organises to organizes. Very annoying.

My driving UK licence says "LICENCE".
