Thank you very much, Rob! It helped.
The new code is below.
--
<DirectoryRef Id="INSTALLDIR">
<Component Id="LicenseComponent" Guid="MyGUID">
<CopyFile Id="LicenseCopyFile"
SourceProperty="LICENSEFILEPATH" DestinationDirectory="INSTALLDIR" />
</Component>
</DirectoryRef>
<CustomAction Id="SetLicenseFileDestinationPath" Property="LICENSEFILEPATH"
Value="[LicenseFolder][LICENSEFILENAME]" />
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action="SetLicenseFileDestinationPath"
Before="InstallInitialize" />
</InstallExecuteSequence>
