Familiy license via the app store?

Hello, I've been demoing 1Password during the previous month and am about to purchase a license. I've gone through the FAQs but still need clarification on licensing.



I have 3 questions:

1. It does 't appear that a family license can be purchased via the App Store. Instead, it must be purchased directly via the website. Is this correct?



2. If I purchase a single license now, but decide to upgrade it to a family license some time before the end of the year, what is the pricing for doing so?



3. With a family license is it possible for multiple family members to have their own master password to access the same keychain? This is necessary for the sites in which the same account is used for the family, ex. Amazon. If not, is there a way to accomplish this goal (having some of the passwords maintained by different members of the family but used by all in a non-transparent way?)



Thanks much,

Joe

    Joe,



    I am assuming we are talking the Mac App Store here ?



    #1 No no family licenses are available, What you would do as so many others is log into the app store on each of the computers that you feel comfortable having linked to your account.



    excerpt :



    Mac App Store licensing works very similar to iTunes licensing. Purchases are tied to your Apple ID. You can install 1Password on all of the computers you personally own and have tied to your Apple ID. To do so, launch the Mac App Store and select the "Purchased" tab at the top. Then you can select the "Install" button next to 1Password.

    #3 No each user would either need its own keychain. There is currently not a way to share portions of the keychain, though the team has said they are currently investigating ways to do this, but no time frames are given.

    Great reply, Tommy!



    We also have a Knowledge Base article which addresses Mac App Store licensing questions in a bit more detail if you are interested.
