The information on upgrading found here:
http://learn.agilebits.com/1Password4/Mac/en/KB/upgrading_from_v3.html
Does not cover my scenario, which is I purchased 1Password from the AgileBits
WEB site in 2011. I'm interested in upgrading to 1Password 4 from the App Store.

Is this upgrade path supported?
Will my new installation of 1Password 4 located the necessary data, existing logins,
etc, such that I pick up and use 1Password 4 without a hitch?

Also, I am currently using DropBox to sync/store, do I need to change to iCloud
with 1Password 4?

Lastly, do I need to upgrade the versions on my iPhone and iPad, or will they
be compatible with 1Password 4 on my Mac?

Thank you for your response and support.
Jim

    No it is not unfortunately. Apple will not allow upgrade pricing. During the initial debut, 1Password offered some discounted pricing for all individuals (current and future customers) but that has ended.

    Will my new installation of 1Password 4 located the necessary data, existing logins, etc, such that I pick up and use 1Password 4 without a hitch?

    Yes, just start 1Password 4 and it should locate you data file in Dropbox. *make sure and uninstall the v3 browser extensions and install the v4. As they are not compatible between versions.

    Also, I am currently using DropBox to sync/store, do I need to change to iCloud with 1Password 4?

    No there is no need to switch. You can if you so choose but its a personal decision.

    Lastly, do I need to upgrade the versions on my iPhone and iPad, or will they be compatible with 1Password 4 on my Mac?

    The 1Password 3 iOS devices wil not sync with Dropbox or iCloud.
    1. iCloud sync is 1Password 4 iOS only.
    2. Dropbox sync for 1Password 3 iOS has ended due to an API change by Dropbox. http://blog.agilebits.com/2013/08/08/1password-3-dropbox-sync-faq/

    You could maintain 1Password 3 on your Mac and sync it via Wifi to 1Password 3 iOS. To do this you would need to maintain Dropbox syncing as 1Password 3 cannot sync via iCloud.
