Licensing for iPad and Mac Air

I purchased 1Password Pro for my iPad and wanted to download it for my Mac Air. The trial period has expired. Do I have to purchase the license again for my Mac Air?

The first thing to make clear is that 1P for Mac and 1P for iOS are completely separate products. In other words, if you need 1P for Mac you have to buy it. The cost of it has nothing to do with whether or not you have 1P for iOS.

1Password is licensed per person and per platform, rather than per device. You can read more about AgileBits' approach to software licensing in this knowledge base article.

You can buy 1P for Mac either from the Mac App Store or direct from the AgileBits store. There are two things to bear in mind:

1. If you ever want to use iCloud to sync 1P data between your Mac and iPhone you must buy 1P from the Mac App Store because the version from the AgileBits store doesn't support iCloud sync (following changes made by Apple on the launch of OS X Yosemite). Both versions support sync of 1P data by either local wifi or Dropbox.
2. If you have owned an earlier version of 1P for Mac you may be entitled to an upgrade discount if you buy from the AgileBits store. That discount won't be available if you buy from the Mac App Store.

Hey @mathlete! As Stephen mentioned, the Mac and iOS apps are separate products. Was the info he posted able to help you get things sorted out?

Hi @penderworth and @stephen_c, That's what I needed to know. knowledge base article was not very helpful as it did not state this in clear terms. It sounded at one point to say the license was per person and didn't matter what platform, then it states that it is per platform which does not clearly address the question I asked when I looked it up.

Thanks for clarifying. I'll investigate other options as well.

@mathlete Thanks for the feedback. I'll pass it along to our docs team so they can look into clarifying things. Sorry for the confusion. If you have any other questions, feel free to let us know. :)
