    Hi @Startupcoach,

    Thanks for taking to time to contact us with your question! I'm sorry for any confusion about 1Password licensing.

    1Password is licensed separately on each supported platform, which means the Mac and iOS versions of 1Password are sold separately. Mac computers and iOS devices run different operating systems, so they require different apps. We aren't able to sell 1Password for Mac and iOS together as a bundle because Apple doesn't currently provide a way of doing so. You can find more information about how 1Password is licensed here: What licenses do I need to use 1Password on all my devices?

    1Password 5 for Mac is available from the AgileBits Store or the Mac App Store (you currently have the AgileBits Store version installed). The main difference is that iCloud sync is only available in the Mac App Store version. Both versions support Dropbox and Wi-Fi sync. We have more information here: Should I buy 1Password from the AgileBits Store or the Mac App Store?

    I'm sorry again for any confusion about that, but I hope this helps to clear that up. If you have more questions, please let us know - we're here for you! :)

    So that means that I'm ok for my Iphone and my Ipad.

    In the case of my Imac and my MacBook (I know I'm a mac man)
    I have to buy one version and I'll be alright.

    AS for data, the 4 will synch thru Dropbox, right ?
    Thanks for the quick answer before.

    Hi @Startupcoach,

    Yes, that's correct - your license will allow you to install 1Password on all of your Macs.

    AS for data, the 4 will synch thru Dropbox, right ?

    Yes, that's also correct. 1Password 4 and 5 can sync with each other via Dropbox, there should be no problems there. If you need any help to set up Dropbox sync, you might find these user guide articles helpful:

    If you have any trouble setting that up, just let us know, and we'll be happy to help.
