1Password for Windows now on sale! Special discount for Beta testers

My views are not representative of Agile since I don't work for them. My interpretation of licensed to "you" is for the product. Since I purchased 1Password for the Mac then that's what the license covers. 1Password for Windows is an entirely different products and platform as such I didn't expect it to be covered under the current license for 1Password Mac. Having the 50% off promo running now made it even easier to accept, plus the $2.50 discount for each post that much sweeter. Well worth the investment to have a single product for all my passwords is "PRICELESS". <img src='http://forum.agile.ws/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' />

You are right!

I misunderstood it i guess. 1password adds a module in IE. And by that grabs account and log in information.

I thought it would run outside.

I just did not see the additional button, because it was hidden behind an arrow pointing to additional menu items.

You probably could change this to show the 1password browser integration a bit more directly?

Agree with the first part of it being on “per computer” basis".



But the second part makes it clear that it's for a Mac not a PC.



[quote]A single-user license allows you to install and use 1Password on as many [b]Macs[/b] as you own.[/quote]



Also agree that the wording needs to be a little more defined then how it reads now. Perhaps...



...as many Mac as you own under the native OS and not via BootCamp or other type of PC emulation.

Hello,

will you please confirm for me when the 50% discount offer for the purchase of the windows version concludes.

I would like to let a couple of other forums know about the good deal? thanks.

Just wanted to say thanks for the special discount for beta forum posters (which I've just taken advantage of).



It's something you didn't have to do, but reminds me why Agile are such a great company, who care about their customers and software. <img src='http://forum.agile.ws/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/skype_yes.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='(y)' />



Looking forward to the final version when it's released. (And getting the iPad version when I buy an iPad next year).

Just to make sure I understand properly: I've bought 1Password 2, 3, and Pro, but if I want any kind of discount on 1Password for Windows I need to buy the beta version. Correct?

[/quote]

It may be a fine distinction but, technically, the beta software is still free. You'd be purchasing an early registration of the non-beta software. At this time, the [b]half-price[/b] offer is the discount on early registration of 1Password for Windows.



I've heard there will be some accommodation,after the beta period, for people who also have licenses for 1Password on the Mac; but no details are available yet, to my knowledge.

[quote name='ScottA' timestamp='1281815182' post='8753']

Do we know if details will be available before the early registration offer ends? I'd hate to sit around waiting for details, find out my discount isn't as good as the early registration one, and then find out the early registration discount is no longer available.

[/quote]

Sorry, Scott, I don't. Those decisions are "above my pay grade." <img src='http://forum.agile.ws/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' />



It's your money, of course, but (having been a 1Password customer before joining the team) my choice would be to go with the bird in the hand, rather than waiting to see how many might be in the bush. What with global warming, you can't be sure the bush will even be there, the next time you check.

[quote name='ScottA' timestamp='1281828648' post='8774']

That doesn't exactly give me a warm and fuzzy feeling about how Agile treats its repeat customers, but thanks for the info.

[/quote]

Scott, I'm so sorry my lame attempt at humor came across wrong! <img src='http://forum.agile.ws/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/skype_doh.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='(doh)' /> Agile's treatment of me as a repeat customer is one of the main reasons I wanted to join the team.



I was trying to share how I'd think of it (as the regular paying customer I was for so long before joining the support team) by saying that, if it were me deciding how to spend my own money, I'd go for the 50% discount, because it's a really good deal. (Again, I've heard no details about what might eventually be offered.)



The global warming joke was just that—utterly unrelated to the company and certainly not a comment on its reliability or attitude.



I sincerely apologize if I gave offense or damaged your opinion of us. <img src='http://forum.agile.ws/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/skype_sadsmile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':sad:' /> Think less of me, not the company.

Just became a "pre-release, half price paying customer" with a family pack. As we are a PC only (with 2 iPhone 4s between us) I don't see a problem with cross-platform licensing. The purchase went smoothly though as someone in the thread posted earlier, I entered my AMEX data and was then transferred to the PayPal site. A little confusing and did not give me the warm fuzzies, but after that everything went smoothly.



My first question: Did I buy "just" the Windows side software or do I get a discount on the iPhone version as well? Just asking so I don't pay for something that I (may) have already paid for.



Second question concerning synching between 5 different computers: I synch with 3 Windows (2 32 bit XP and one 64 bit Win 7) boxes and my spousal equivalent syncs with 2 Windows (1 XP and 1 64 bit Win 7) boxes. We have a family license to MobileMe that's working as far as our Outlook / iPhone contacts & calendar functions. What is the best way to insure that we also synch 1Password - without paying for another subscription service?



Thanks for the advice and the ability to pay half for a pre-release license. <img src='http://forum.agile.ws/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/confused.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':confused:' />

1Password, 3Licenses



Not impressed but love your 1Password product so I would have to bite the bullet...

As a current customer with multiple licenses for 1Password Mac and iPhone, I honestly find it unreasonable and sh!*#y that you aren't simply making the Windows release free for people like me. To quote your own FAQ:

[quote]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 Model™, as there is only one of you so you should only need one license for all your machines![/quote]

I understand that a Windows version is a wholly separate program, like those for the iOS platforms, with development and maintenance costs, but with the Dropbox integration it really is becoming a ubiquitous application (can we expect a web version at some point?). I just installed the Android version which I was so excited about, but I guess now I should prepare to pony up for that too as soon the beta label comes off. The message you're sending is that for every new platform comes a new expense, even for loyal customers who've paid for upgrades and family packs etc.



Pandora doesn't charge me extra to listen to it on my phone (yes I am a paying Pandora customer - yearly). Evernote doesn't charge me extra to take notes on my Windows machine at work. You know who does charge me separately for my different platforms? Adobe for Photoshop. Microsoft for Office. As DBrown pointed out, this is a common experience, but just because other companies do it doesn't make it a good reason.



I've loved using your software for years now. I've been an evangelist, and a happy beta tester (I haven't posted anything for the Windows version because, well, I honestly haven't had any problems with it). But when it comes to licensing, if you're going to treat your customers like M$, then unlike j33per I'm not biting any more bullets.

[quote name='Stefan van As' timestamp='1282056849' post='9001']

None of the above. The beta is free. You're buying the future release version. It's an early bird discount.

[/quote]



Gotcha - so pay now and don't have to pay for the release version, yes?

[quote name='Stefan van As' timestamp='1282059910' post='9010']

Yes.

[/quote]



Outstanding. And purchased... <img src='http://forum.agile.ws/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

Nice program!



I had problems setting up the synchronization with the windows version.



Just in case someone else has the same problem, here are the steps I took to solve the sync issues I was having:



1. delete the keychain from my dropbox.

2. open 1Password for Windows

3. create brand new keychain in the root of my dropbox folder

4. add one entry (I created a login entry so I could be sure it actually sync-ed)

5. open 1Password on the iPAD.

6. sync

7. re-enter master password

8. all is well now

9. repeat on the iPhone.





It might not have been necessary to create the keychain in the root of dropbox but it seemed less complex that way.

I think the big thing was I had the program create the keychain in the dropbox folder rather than copying it there.

I am glad I just started using this program and don't have all of the entries I have in my old password locker.
