Hi @susan_steiner,
Thanks to reaching out to us for help with this! I'm sorry you're having a bit of trouble activating the app with a license.
If I understand, it sounds like someone in your family purchased a Family License for 1Password 4 for Mac from our AgileBits Store in 2014. You recently installed 1Password 6 on a new MacBook and you need to activate that with the license. Is that correct?
If so, please note that starting in version 4, 1Password for Mac uses a license file for activation (not a code). The same license file for 1Password 4 for Mac also works for 5 and 6, so you'll just need to get a copy of that so you can use it to activate the app. You mentioned you have a 'key' but I'm not sure if that's a code or file. If it's a code, it sounds like a license for 1Password 3 for Mac (which is included for free with a 1Password 4/5/6 license), or possibly a license for 1Password for Windows.
If you have a copy of your license file, you should be able to double-click on that in order to activate 1Password 6. If you need a new copy sent to you (or to the family member who made the purchase), you can find information on how to do that here: If you see “Trial Expired” in 1Password
Does that help at all? If not, just let us know and we'll continue from there. Thanks! :)
