Confused about sharing 1password with family (bought family license in June - have 4.4.1)

I bought the family license and family members are finally ready to use it. I can't figure out how to share it with them. How do they get the app on their computers, etc, without buying it? I am using drop box, and shared the folder with my husband, but we're really lost. Is there no tutorial for this? I'm tired of searching through the maze of discussions. Please help.

    They should simply download the app from the AgileBits store and then apply your licence to the app. You can send them your licence any way you like: iMessage, email, Airdrop transfer, etc.

    Hi @petosky5‌

    Just to add to Stephen_C's post, your licence is completely independent from your vault (apologies if you already understood this distinction). So your licence will authorise multiple machines. Now sharing a vault, that's different.

    If you're wanting to share a primary vault between computers with Dropbox you'll want this guide.
    If you're wanting to share a secondary vault (so a private primary vault each and a secondary vault for shared passwords) then this guide will be more appropriate.

    and of course if you have any more questions we are here to help.
