To track assigned licenses and permission sets in Salesforce instead of using a spreadsheet, an administrator should use User Report type on Report object. User Report type allows creating reports that show information about users such as their profile, role, license type, active status, login history etc. It also allows adding fields related to permission sets such as Permission Set Assignments or Permission Set License Assignments. For example, an administrator can create a User Report that shows user name, profile name, user license name, permission set assignments count etc. Login History, Lightning Usage App, or Permission Set Groups are not features that can be used to track assigned licenses and permission sets in Salesforce.

To require users to follow the status values as they are on the path and prevent them from reverting back to previous status values, the administrator should use validation rules that check if the status field value is changed from one value to another value that is not allowed by business logic. For example, if status values are New > In Progress > Closed, then a validation rule can check if status is changed from Closed to In Progress or New, and show an error message if true. Predefined Field Values, Global Value Picklists, and Dependent Picklists are not able to enforce status progression or prevent status reversion.

A standard fiscal year starts on January 1 and ends on December 31. A custom fiscal year can be set to start on any month and end on any month. In this case, Cloud Kicks wants its fiscal year to start on February 1 and end on January 31. This can be achieved by setting the fiscal year to Custom and the starting month to February.
Setting the fiscal year to Standard and the starting month to February will not work, as the standard fiscal year starts on January 1. Setting the fiscal year to Custom and the duration to 4 quarters will not work, as the duration of a fiscal year is 12 months. Setting the fiscal year to Standard and the duration to 12 months will not work, as the standard fiscal year starts on January 1.
Custom fiscal years are fiscal years that follow a custom-defined structure that differs from the Gregorian calendar. They can be used by organizations that have fiscal years that start on a different month than January or have fiscal years that are divided into custom periods such as quarters or weeks. To set up a custom fiscal year that starts on February 1 and has 12 months, an administrator needs to set the fiscal year to custom and the starting month as February in the fiscal year settings. Setting the fiscal year to standard or the duration to 4 quarters does not meet the requirement of having a custom fiscal year that starts on February 1.

To track all cases that reference the new product and give read/write access to the product's two lead engineers, the administrator should create a queue and a criteria-based sharing rule. The queue will allow assigning cases that meet certain criteria, such as having a specific value in the Product field, to a group of users. The criteria-based sharing rule will grant read/write access to the queue members for cases that match the same criteria.
