I do have have a standalone 1Password for Mac licence AgileBits (fVersion 6.5.3), I bought an Android cell phone, downloaded the app from the play store and thought I have to open an account, which I did. I then tried to add this account to my standalone 1 Password for Mac, which didt work (error message: „could not receive an answer-code form the server, please try again“). How can I sync my content between my Macs and my Android cell phone? First of all, how can I migrate my data to the new account?

    Welcome to the forum, @Andi_Lang! Sorry for the trouble you're having just now getting upgraded. If you're using version 6.5.3, the first thing you should do is upgrade that to the current version of 1Password 6 for Mac -- 6.8.9. I'm not sure why you're not already on this version, as OS X should've been giving you update notifications. Is there a reason you haven't upgraded past 6.5.3 (which was released around Christmas time of 2016)? Once you've got yourself upgraded to the latest version, you can open Preferences > Accounts and click the plus button in the lower right-hand corner to add your newly-created 1password.com account into 1Password 6 for Mac. Here are specific instructions to both add your account, and migrate your data. Once you've done that, you should be all set, but let us know if you have any problems or questions! :)
