Hi where should your license files go for a mac app:

and is it ok to put a Preferences file in ~home/Library/ Preferences ,when it isnt a .plist file but my own preferences format

Well, from my perspective, both as a developer and a user, my expectation is that preferences, regardless of format, belong in ~/ <user>/Library/Preferences. If the license is part of the preference file, then that's the place. If the license file is separate, a clearly named license file (eg. com.foo.appname.License) in the Preferences dir is preferable to putting it anywhere else.
