You can, but a UUID is not a licence key. Its nice to have it as an ID that is 99,9% sure is not in other systems. so no collisions.

Or to obscure paths in websites; not using incremental IDs.

For licence keys I would, personally, go with a key with hashed properties in it so you can validate who's key it is in the licence software. For example an email, a specific version or an end-date.
