Has the standalone option been intentionally removed from 7.8.6 on Mac?

I just tried setting up 1Password 7.8.6 on a Mac (10.15.7). The option for standalone is not there. I reinstalled using a 7.8.5 installer and it's back. Is this intentional?

1Password Version: 7.8.6
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: macOS 10.15.7
Sync Type: none
Referrer: forum-search:7.8.6

    The option is still present in 7.8.6 on my end.

    I've seen the same thing on two more Macs today. The option is there in 7.8.5:

    But after installing 7.8.6, then beginning setup, it's gone:

    I did discover that applying the standalone license, then restarting 1Password, changed the blue button to "I'm a new user" and clicking that created a standalone vault.

    I'm sorry, I thought you were talking about enabling the option within the 1Password > Advanced > Preferences. I'll poke the team and see what I can find out. I was able to reproduce your results.

    I checked with the team. There are several things at play here.

    1. You'll need to apply a license to the installation to expose that ability. From the menu bar 1Password > License...

    Standalone licenses are not longer for sale. If you do not have one you will need a 1Password membership. https://1password.community/discussion/comment/601917/#Comment_601917
