Clean OS install -
I have significant Preferences issues on my my Mac generally - the issues may (or may not) involve 1PW. After multiple attempts to deal with the specific symptoms I have, three different Applecare techs have all come to the solution is a "Clean OS installation". By that I mean Format the HDD, download and reinstall the OS, all applications, and copy data files from a backup. The specific instructions are use Migration Assistant to get my data files back from a Time Machine Backup. The experts are split on also recovering Applications, but everybody says avoid "Users" which contains all the application preference data. Here is a link to version 10.8 of Migration assistant.

See item #14 under Wireless or Ethernet Migration
My 1PW 3.9.6 installation is pretty bland as far as I know. (I tend to stick with defaults.) The only stuff that is less common is I "share" with a 1PW for Windows (my spouse) but that sharing is via DropBox. We both also have iOS devices again via DropBox.
So My question - After I download or Migration Assistant transfer 1PW, how do I associate and "turn on" 1PW? I will need 1PW for all my other software keys, and a ton of information I store their securely.

Since you've been syncing via Dropbox, all you need to do after the clean install of OS X is:
- Install Dropbox.
- Wait for Dropbox to finish syncing.
- Install 1Password from the Mac App Store (if you haven't already).
- Open 1Password. Your data should automatically be detected.
That should be it. But please let me know if you run into any trouble. We're always here to help! :)
