Interesting. If this is the case, I think you have a communications problem. I was under the impression that after 6.0, the only way to get a license was to have your older one grandfathered. I can't find any information about this on your website. All of the options on your product info pages other than "enterprise (email us for a quote)" show monthly subscriptions only. Where can I see product info about the licensed version? Can you provide a link?

I agree their website is somewhat confusing, it nudges quite strongly towards purchasing a 1Password subscription. However these pages[1,2] makes quite clear that you can purchase a standalone license even if you're not upgrading: > Or, to purchase a standalone license, click “Need a license? We have those too.” After purchasing your license, add it to 1Password. > Or, to purchase a standalone license, click “Need a license? We have those too.” [1] https://support.1password.com/upgrade-windows/ https://support.1password.com/upgrade-windows/ [2] https://support.1password.com/upgrade-mac/ https://support.1password.com/upgrade-mac/

  Aha. I'd advise them to make this clear from the "new user" perspective, rather than just the "upgrade" path, because when I started this job, I set out to purchase a brand new license and was given the impression that it wasn't available anymore. Edit: I've literally had this belief for years, and I absolutely love their product. I'm the classic case of the user that's already decided to purchase and all they need to do is take my money, but I gave up. Searching produced a forum post where there was a litany of users who were thoroughly confused about the availability of the licensed version, as well. We are clearly not alone.

I second this. I actually switched my entire household over to keypass because I was under the impression that I was forced to use the 1password cloud service.

  Even if you pay for it as a subscription, you can still create standalone vaults that don't use the cloud sync. I find the cloud service useful for my personal stuff (for sharing purposes) but I keep client info in separate local vaults.

This was so difficult to figure out, and responses from AgileBits support so disingenuous, that I wrote up how to do this on iOS: https://www.davidschlachter.com/misc/1password-ios-standalone https://www.davidschlachter.com/misc/1password-ios-standalon...

  "Disingenuous" is really how it feels to me too, unfortunately. Doesn't give me a warm fuzzy feeling about them being committed to supporting it. But I have to admit, the clear answer from Kyle in this very thread gives me hope. I will definitely be upgrading my 6.0 license to 8.0. AgileBits: please keep the licensed version forever, and try not to make it seem like such a step-child. :D
