Morphology

licensee = license (transparent) = license + ee

The suffix '-ee' commonly marks the person who receives or is affected by the action denoted by the base 'license', giving a directly inferable meaning.

Etymology

Licensee comes from license ('permission') plus the ending -ee, which means 'the person who receives', as in employee or lessee. So a licensee is the person or company given official permission to do or use something.
