I don't think that is a promise any software vendor can make, @jetboy, and it certainly isn't one I'm able to make. The nature of software is that in order for it to be viable long term it needs to receive updates. For starters, you’d essentially have to be “frozen in time” and not update either your operating system or your web browsers. That isn’t a practical solution in most cases. It is also a really poor option in terms of security, which is one of the core reasons to use 1Password in the first place. Otherwise it is very possible that an update from a 3rd party would be incompatible with the existing version of 1Password.

In my post, 1P_Ben, I was talking about the unusual scenario where a machine is deliberately "frozen in time" for specific reasons, with examples of where it's necessary. I thought it was clear that I was not talking about a current, updated system. Obviously, older software becomes obsolete on such machines. That's elementary. I'm sorry I did such a poor job of explaining my point that you think I'm demanding something unreasonable or impossible.
