Licenses belong in /Library/Application Support (no squiggle),
IMO. Plugins too, probably. But templates, yes, although
perhaps they might be stored in /Library/Application Support at
the user's option ('make this template available to all users of
this Macintosh').
Depending on what you want to do, take care when running user a
restricted account! Got bitten by that one. We now set a few
permissions bits in the installer for our own, specific,
reasons.
What sort of data is it, anyway?

It seems to me that it is telling you not to save user documents
there. Templates, user-installed plugins, licenses, and all
sorts of
other stuff goes (and belongs) in Application Support. The app
binary,
its required frameworks, its resources, etc. do not.
