It's a validation file containing registration details. My product

keep things clean just in case.
I don't care where I write the file much (previously I wrote it to
"/
Library/Preferences") but even the hard drive root path is off
limits.
Other suggestions include writing data into the keychain but this is
just a Lion compatibility fix and I'm not sure how keychain access
from
within an AU would work out in practice.
I register the whole machine rather than individual users. Any other
suggestions as to where to write it?

Some apps, including iTunes, using /Users/Shared/ for DRM. It may
still
be world-writable in Lion [which I can't confirm as I haven't
switched
yet...come on 10.7.2...].
It's still writable.
I fear that many apps will now start saving all kinds of stuff willy-
nilly into this folder, instead of with the nice structure in /
Library.
I'm afraid your fears have just been confirmed, until I find a better
solution at least. Maybe I can justify this as a kind of protest
against AudioUnits not being allowed in the App Store :-)
Thanks to everyone who helped!

Sometimes one wants to save preferences at the machine domain, and
kCFPreferencesAnyUser lets you do this, though you'll need to use
SMJobBless() to do so.
