As noted a few days ago, this is not an appropriate forum to discuss
general issues to do with application licensing. Please keep it
relevant to technical issues for Mac OS X and Cocoa in particular.

The thread started on topic and it has drifted off and back on topic
and off again since then. The number of posts to the thread indicates
that it is clearly of interest to a sizeable number of Mac OS X and
Cocoa programmers, who by nature of their work, often have to face
application licensing questions.
I agree, it has been very interesting.
Did we ever get a consensus on "where to put licence files" and things
like "what's the best way to store time/usage limits"?
I think personally think hidden files in Preferences, Application
Support and so on, is an abomination. I understand the need for a
counter and such, but usually you can get around it by finding the
hidden files created the app anyway.
Is there any reason why one should condone the profiliation of these
hidden files? Do they somehow offer considerably "better" protection
than simply checking the creation date of your .plist file?
Is there some solution we can "standardize" on perhaps?
