Once upon a time a few programs in the old DOS days used .DAT extensions for their DATA Files. But from the ACAD2004 help files:

You can name the license file in any way, but you must save the file with a .lic or a .dat extension.

So it is assumed that AUTOCAD recognises this file as a license file. On the other hand, another Application may recognise it as something completely different. Like SCR for scripts and Screen Savers
