Dialog is the US version of dialogue. However, I have often seen the
american version used in software (dialog boxes).



In English (UK), the difference between licence and license is as follows

Licence is a noun for an official permit to own/do something (e.g.
driving licence) - in the US this is spelt license.

License is a verb to authorise etc (e.g. granted a licensed to sell
alcohol etc)
