You can put the licensing file where ever you want. However if you want limited users under Vista to Windows 10 to be able to install the license then you need to put it somewhere where they have permission to write to. The main problem for limited users is that there is no common file system or registry area that they have permissions to write to where they can install the License File. There are three ways of handling this:

1. Install the license file under the users ApplicationData directory. This is the simplest solution however it means that each user of the computer needs to install the license to use your software. This solution is not suitable if you wish to use Clone Detection with Authenticated Licenses. In this case you would have different license files for each windows user on the machine and Clone Detection would see this as a cloned license.
2. Install the license file in a directory under the CommonAppData directory but set the permissions on this directory during setup to allow all users to write to the directory (see this post)
3. Write a separate installer application that is called by setup to install the license file under CommonAppData or in the application Program Files directory. Set the manifest requested privileges level to “requireAdministrator” so that the installer will run with admin privileges and can install the file. Your application can then read the license file running under a limited account
