I hold a professional engineering license, having passed the computer engineering exam. The software engineering exam was first offered a year or two after I took my exam. (In Texas, the first state to offer the software engineering exam.) Anyway, I passed the test with no problem, and I think all the licensing exam does is to filter people who are totally incompetent. It guarantees a level of quality, perhaps, but that bar is pretty low.
