Want to change from MAS to Agile Store version

FYI I don't use iCloud sync for 1Password but Dropbox only.

As with so many software I own, again I find out that non MAS versions are released earlier and makes me feel I prefer the non MAS version. Any possibility to get this arranged ?

Does the non MAS version make use of the Sparkle update mechanism ?

Last but not least I always had the info that 1Password 4 would be MAS only. So if i knew on forehand the existence of both non MAS and MAS I would have wait.

  • Hi @mgsoutman,

    Apple handles all the updates in the MAS and can auto-install updates for you in the background (in Mavericks/10.9). With that in mind, they don't allow different type of auto-updaters at the MAS.

    MAS updates are slower because we have to wait for Apple to approve the updates, which typically requires a week or two, sometimes longer depending on other major events like a huge OS X update. Since our website version do not have to be reviewed, it is released much earlier.

    If you'd like to switch to our website version, you can. Here's how to do this, you can email us your proof of purchase at support+forum@agilebits.com, and we'll send you the free website version.
