Do I have to download the $24.99 app for a second Mac?

If I want to set up my 1Password account on a new computer, do I buy the same app through the app store on this second computer? Or do I buy the additional computer setup a different way? I just don't want to spend an extra $25 (and $8 for my phone) for something I don't need.

    You can put it on five computers from MAS provided they all use the same Apple ID.

    Thanks @MikeBore! But do I buy it from the app store? Because when I go to buy it on my second Mac, it looks like it's for the same price.

    If you are logged in with the same Apple ID, 1P should appear in the "Purchases" tab in MAS and you should just be able to select "install"

    If you found it by search, then I think it will show the price, but if you click "buy" it will tell you that you have already purchased it.

    I have been seeing items purchased in iTunes, the App store, and the Mac App Store all not displaying that I had previously purchased an item.

    As @mikebore said its best to look in the purchased tab

    Even if you accidentally bought the app again, Apple will take care of you and if not, we'll take care of you.

    We haven't seen much accidents like this, so you should be okay finding it in Purchases after you log in with the same AppleID account.
