Delete MAS Version 4.1.2?

Lurkingbf

I purchased 1Password on the Mac App Store. I have just now migrated over to the Webstore version (4.2.2) so that I won't have to wait forever to get the most recent application updates. I followed the data migration procedure, and everything is working great.

Can I now delete the MAS version in order to avoid confusion? Is it safe to do this? If so, what is the process to follow so that I won't accidentally delete anything that the webstore version (4.2.2) also needs?

Thanks.

Yes, you can delete the MAS version. See this knowledge base article on how to do it. Don't use an app cleaner app when you delete the MAS version. They have a nasty habit of sweeping away your critical 1P data.

This was the document I followed to complete the initial migration process, but it isn't specifically stated therein that it's OK to simply delete the MAS application and application support directory without causing any issues with licensing.

I will give it a try.

Thanks.

There is no specific "licence" for the Mac App Store version. With the AgileBits store version you do get a licence.

How does one migrate from MAS to AgileBits Store version?

I opted for the MAS version when AgileBits introduced 1P4 (reduced upgrade pricing incentive). At the time, it seemed like AgileBits were 'coaxing' people to switch to MAS, but now that no longer seems the case. Feels like the MAS users are being left behind...

There is a procedure for the technical side but as to licensing I'm afraid you'll have to wait for someone from AgileBits to respond.

The Mac app store version is not in fact so far behind as may appear from the version numbering. There's a separate numbering regime for MAS versions to differentiate them from non MAS versions. Sadly, I can't remember how it works!

I reverted to the Webstore version and am much happier. It was easy since I use Dropbox sync. I deleted the MAS app but how do I get rid of the bits and pieces of the MAS app remaining?

Stephen_C

The only thing I'd do without guidance from someone more expert than me would be to drag the MAS version to trash (if not done already)...and without using any app cleaner (because they always seem keen to delete critical data as well).

Would like to get the BETA version for the new HeartBleed feature. Doubt that will be available in MAS anytime soon and when it is -- too late! :(

Hi @Lurkingbf‌ and @ralphdaily‌

Just to confirm what Stephen has already said, when switching from the MAS version to the webstore version, the only deleting that you should be doing is properly closing 1Password and the Mini and moving the 1Password 4 app to the trash can. We don't suggest using an app cleaner as these can be overzealous and remove files that you actually need ... as well, the Mac App Store version has been dutifully saving backups for you since you first installed it. We don't want to delete those files until the webstore version has had a good opportunity to save a proper backup database for you as well. :)

Hi @racerx1‌
