The beauty of the domained folder system is that we can put license
files in /Library/Application Support, ~/Library/Application Support,
or /Network/Library/Application Support. That was a great boon when I
was on the customer side of this equation, and had bundle licenses for
some products but an individual license for myself. Each machine (we
had 10 workstations) had its own bundle license in
/Library/Application Support, but I carried my own licenses in my
network-mounted ~/Library/Application Support.

Plea from a former sysadmin: *please* use a PackageMaker package, with
the permissions bits set appropriately in the BOM, *not* an installer
application!
