"Licence Agreement" or "License Agreement"

I know licence is noun and license is verb, but when it is used in conjunction with "agreement", which one should I use?

In British English licence is the correct spelling for the noun, and is also an acceptable variant spelling of the verb. US English allows both spellings for both noun and verb.

Use the noun: licence/license agreement. Or you can use the verb, which would be: licensing agreement.
