License Question - Multiple Computers
I have upgraded from 1Password 3 to 4 on both my iMac and my iPhone through the App Store. Both are working fine and syncing over the cloud. I also have a Macbook Pro laptop and do I understand correctly that I can install a copy of 4 also on it without extra charge?
If I can, how do I do that? When I go to the App Store with my MBP the checkbox on 1Password only shows the option of buying it ("Buy App").

So long as you use the same AppleID on both Macs, you should be able to download it from the Mac App Store without further charge. Perhaps you are using a different AppleID on your laptop? Or did you, perchance, buy your copy directly from AgileBits? Then you would download another copy from your user account there.

Hawkmoth that's my understanding as well. I did buy from Apple App Store and I'm using the same account and AppleID. In the App Store it shows a price of $49.99. When I click on that it changes to "Buy App" Perhaps the system is such that if I then click on "Buy App" it will recognize I own it and let me download for no charge. Guess I'm chicken to click "Buy Now" for fear it will charge me another 50 bucks......

I wouldn't check that Buy Now option either. Then you'll be trying to get a refund from Apple, a process I would try to avoid. I think you may need help from Apple, although I am not sure how you should go about getting it.

I once had immense problems installing an app on my MacBook Pro, no matter how much space I created it refused to download. What I ended up doing was downloading on my Mac Mini and then simply copying the program across to the MacBook Pro where it was recognised and all was well (both obviously using the same Apple ID). Might be worth trying that to see what happens. I agree with hawkmoth, while I believe there was a point where you had to bravely click buy now to re-download a program, I think they improved that aspect of the UI so I'd also fear you'd get hit with a $49.99 charge again.

Have you looked in the Purchases tab in the Mac App Store app? Seems obvious, I know, but all of my stuff that I've purchased or downloaded for free under my AppleID is there. Just grasping at straws here.

Yes, I think I have it solved. As you suggested I did go to the Purchases tab in the Mac Store on my laptop. It shows 1Password 4 as already purchased and has a box to click to "Install". That will install it without charge on my laptop. Thanks for your thoughts.........
