I can't find out nor do I understand the method of how to get 1Password over to my wife's computer so she can use the app.

    Did you buy 1P from the Mac App Store or from the AgileBits store? (If you're not sure go to 1P > About 1Password and it should tell you.)

    If the former and your wife uses the same Apple ID as you (or is part of a family sharing arrangement under OS X Yosemite) she can simply download the app on her computer from the Mac App Store without paying for it again.

    If, on the other hand, you bought from the AgileBits store, the licence

    can be shared by up to six family members living in the same household.

    All you need to do in that case is to copy your licence to your wife's machine and she can use it to license a version of 1P5 that she downloads from the AgileBits store. Your licence should be stored in 1P under 1Password in Software Licenses. You can transfer it to your wife's machine in any way you choose (email, USB stick, etc.). If you need to have the licence re-sent to you go to this page.

    To make it quite clear, the Mac App Store version of 1P does not use a licence file (the app is automatically licensed via the App Store). The AgileBits store version of 1P does use a licence file.

    All credit goes to @Stephen_C who yes, is always on the ball. Stephen_C is a dedicated user of 1Password who gains enjoyment from browsing the forums and helping fellow users. We owe Stephen and the other community moderators a great deal of gratitude for the time they've selflessly given up.

    Anyway, I'm glad everything is running properly and should you ever find you have other questions or issues please don't hesitate to pop back and ask - we'll see if we can beat Stephen_C to the post :wink:
