Blend of Legacy License & Team 1Password? Does it work?

Hi AgileBits/1Password,

First off, thank you for making such a cool and awesome product! It's super nice to see how well it's grown.

I have a license that I've bought back in October 2014 with 1Password 4 for Windows & 1Password 5 for Mac. I'm continuing to use the standalone license and Dropbox sync for my vault since then.

Recently my workplace decided to share their 1Password Team vault with me which uses the new system that the 1Password website offers (along with subscriptions). Should I be aware of any changes with 1Password using the server & Dropbox sync in this case? Will I be forced to convert to a subscription based membership? I'd like to continue to use my standalone license for my private vault.

Many thanks!

Hi @tiff_ip

Yes, you can absolutely do that. In this situation the one thing I’ll point out is that your Primary vault’s Master Password will be the password that will unlock your 1Password apps (as it does now). The 1Password Teams Master Password will not unlock 1Password. So, if you change your 1Password Teams MP that won’t appear to have any affect on your 1Password apps. This is by design.

I hope that helps!
