    1Password Licenses

    Licensed to You, Not Your Computer

    1Password is licensed on a “per person” basis, not a “per computer” basis. A single-user license allows you to install and use 1Password on as many Macs as you own. We like to call this our Sane Licensing Modelâ„¢, as there is only one of you so you should only need one license for all your machines!

    If you are not the only person using 1Password, then you require additional licenses.

    1Password for iPhone Sold Separately

    1Password for iPhone is available in iTunes App Store.

    Family License

    The family license allows up to five family members living in the same household to use 1Password. There is no need to register each family member. After purchasing a family license, simply forward your family license to them.

    Upgrade Policy

    When you purchase 1Password your license will never expire and you can use it on the current version of 1Password indefinitely. Do note, however, that system updates from Apple could cause certain aspects of 1Password to stop working in the future. For example, when Apple released Safari 3, 1Password required an upgrade to continue functioning.

    Historically, we have been very generous with upgrades. Since we released 1Password three years ago we have given away over 100 free upgrades. We will continue this tradition of generosity and paid license holders will always get all point upgrades for free. For example, going from version 2.5 to version 2.6 is called a “point upgrade.”

    Major new releases will require a paid upgrade, but it will be a discounted upgrade for paid license holders. Those who purchase 1Password within 45 days of any major upgrade will be able to upgrade for free.
