ApplicationSupportorPreferencesis the correct place for it. If someone deletes the appropriate file to get an extra 30 days of use, is that such a big deal?If you really want to stop people from getting more than 30 days of use, consider online activation.
You could also require Admin access to install your app and put a hidden file somewhere deeper in the system, but that would definitely fall under bad practises.
