License Typo in Productpreview (Item Details)

Wow… i myself have never noticed this typo on all Envato related platforms. Next to the ‘Purchase’ Button its written ‘Regular Licence’. Shouldn’t it be ‘Regular License’? I’m from germany, so apologies if i’m misunderstanding something. Can someone clarify?

Yeah it should be License (Verb), not Licence (Noun).

You receive a licence, and purchase a license.

I think in the case of regular licence noun is the proper one to use so no mistake there, although in American English license is both noun and verb so license would be correct as well.

pardon me, but “to purchase” would be the verb still, so in both your examples a noun would work The two examples you’ve given are just passive / active usage of the same noun (one is the object of an action, the other is being affected by one). Also the verb you’re referring to would be “to license” if my limited knowledge of this foreign language is correct, and it would require “something” – a noun, to follow.

The difference is just between British English vs American English

Yeah, I’m aware of the British alternatives, so there is no right or wrong answer. Most of the time I prefer the British English way of spelling common words (and I’m American, lol).

Very nice. I have learned something again. Wasn’t aware the word ‘a license’ is written differently in Britain (with ‘c’). now i know better. Thanks guys
