Family License for mixed household & basic use question
<div class="IPBDescription">mac and windows versions</div>Maybe you've already anticipated my question… but I'll spell it out: (as a prospective buyer) will a family license allow me to install, say on two macs and three windows machines?
oh, and as someone who has yet to use the product I also have a simple question about the process of keeping keeping everything secure- how often to I enter that one password? once after booting up? after the computer's been asleep? that's what I would want, in least part- if my compter was to be stolen or lost it would probably be while it was closed & asleep (I seldom shut down my laptop while transporting it). or is it maybe every time I go to use one of the nifty password autofills after, say an hour since I last used one? Are these setting adjustable. I was hoping for more light to be shed on this issue in a screen cast (I only found the one video at https://agilewebsolutions.com/products/1Password/videos).
thanks!

Mac and Windows licenses are currently separate. See:

You can set the auto-lock interval; I believe the default is 20 minutes. There are options for locking upon screen saver activation and/or sleep. Also, the clipboard can be cleared automatically after a specified amount of time to prevent harvesting. There are a great deal of fine-grained settings for keeping control of your data -- far too many to go over in a screencast, I would say.
You should really avail yourself of the free trial. <img src='http://forum.agile.ws/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' />Flag 0 -
hesychast, welcome to the forums! sjk is correct, the licenses are per user per platform. We have complete information about our licenses here: [url="http://help.agile.ws/1Password3/how_many_licenses.html"]1Password Licenses[/url].
Hope this helps.
Also, toromel was right about the security preferences...there are many settings that you can use to customise it to your liking. We have a 30-day risk free trial, so give 1Password a spin and see what you think. <img src='http://forum.agile.ws/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />Flag 0
