Can we have an auto bot to correct “license” to “licence”, similar to the driving licence one?

Hopefully not, as that would be incorrect.
In British English, the word is spelled with an 's' when acting as a verb. The confusion stems from American English using 's' for nouns too.
In British English, each of the following is correct:
he is licensed
he has a licence
