If I am developing an app that has a 30 day trial, for example, where would the best place be to store the license information? Application support is too easily accessible, but I am not sure where else would be appropriate...
ApplicationSupport or Preferences is 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.

When I open my Microsoft Teams site, the "Conversations" tab will always show first. Is there a way to make the "Wiki" or "Files" tab appear first?
This isn't a programming question, but I'll answer it anyway.
The answer is no, and we aren't likely to get to it anytime soon even though it does get asked for. The reason is that if the tab order is dynamic, we have to hit the disk or the network in order to start rendering, which will kill our channel switch time.

I want to build a website with a chat. The chat should have a calling option,stickers,smiley faces.Which language would you suggest and why?
I`m thinking about ruby on rails or node.js
I am also thinking to find someone who maybe have experience in the
area, but i am not sure what kind of developer would suit me best.
Language choice depends on how many hours you want to spend on development and further support.
Node.js is a simple and fast option if you want to build a working prototype. If you want to build something with a future advance (in order to solve such issues as scalability) and you have more time you can look at Golang and similar languages.

Just wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction for documentations that specifies what a Window application's file footprint is?
More specifically, I am looking for a documentation that specifies what registry files (and which hive) and files/directories must be created when an application is installed.
#Raymond Chen is totally right, however, there are some pretty common places to put things in the registry\file system based on the programs needs. I.E. Does it start on login or start up? It really depends on how the program interfaces with Windows. Hopefully that points you in the right direction.

By this question I like to ask how legal is to track the installation of a free Joomla Module.
I already have create some Joomla Modules, and I like to track the amount of installations.
The only purpose of the trackink will be to track the web sites that using that module, nothing more, nothing less.
But I am wondering, is that legal ?
I wouldn't ask for legal advice from a programmers community. Best advice is to ask a laywer.
But if I were to guess, NOT allowed without the explicit user permission.
Not really the place to be asking this type of question.
Instead of tracking amount of installations, why not track the amount of downloads from your website? Would be much easier and ethical. Could be done with a simple bit of PHP or JS.

This is semi-programming related. I'm working with more than 1 person on a website. And its really hard not to mess up each others work by downloading/uploading the wrong file to FTP. So we started using dropbox, which auto-syncs the files. It's not perfect...
How do you work with multiple people? Is there something like Google Docs, that has live editing? Or any other neat solutions?
I would look at a source control system. They allow multiple people to make changes to the same project and also allow you to see/undo changes that have been made. SVN or GIT are the two most popular right now.
