Both are correct, "licence" being normally found in UK dictionaries, and
"license" being normally found is US dictionaries.

However, consideration should be given to uniformity in that in any web
pages, documents, etc., we should be consistent in the use of US English or
UK English.  We should make an effort not to mix UK English and US English.

I have not looked to see how many, if any, inconsistencies exist.

I would pose the question as to whether we have, or should adopt, a standard
as to which variant of English should be preferred in such documents as
licences/licenses, etc.

"licence" is a perfectly acceptable spelling. In fact, in many
English-speaking countries, it's considered the proper spellling.
