- 1PASSWORD STANDALONE LICENSE PRICING UPGRADE
- 1PASSWORD STANDALONE LICENSE PRICING FULL

Maybe I'd be willing to pay full price, but I already have most of the functionality I need, so maybe not.
1PASSWORD STANDALONE LICENSE PRICING SOFTWARE
I've purchased a standalone, perpetual license of version N of your software, and you release version N+1, which is essentially the same piece of software but adds a number features I'd like to use.
1PASSWORD STANDALONE LICENSE PRICING UPGRADE
The reasoning behind upgrade pricing is simple. I think a lot of the responses here are misunderstanding why upgrade pricing may be a sticking point. We invite you to take your business elsewhere. Perhaps more developers (and for that matter retailers) should take this to heart. (I'm not claiming this as an original idea, it's something I learned from the practices and sage advice of others.) It sometimes produced a short-term cashflow issue but inevitably paid off in the long run, in terms of financial and mental health. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯īack when I was consulting, I used to make it a practice to “fire” the “worst” 20% of my clients (based on a subjective evaluation of "worst" - not merely billable hours) on an “annual-ish” basis, then use the recovered time and energy to get better clients, or lavish more attention on the better clients I had, or to just go outside and lay in a hammock. Some people expect a free/heavily subsidized lunch, I guess, and those people you're probably better off not having as customers. (As I've said elsewhere in these forums, to me an App has a higher bar to cross if they're not available through the App Store because I take value from not worrying about license keys or where to find the app if I need to pull it down on a new computer, or to my MBP (which contains only apps I’m using now, etc.) (I also switched to a subscription to provide ongoing support of an app that I truly value.) A month or so back I did the same thing for Swift Publisher, bought a new App Store license instead of a direct upgrade, and I look forward to doing the same for BBEdit in the future. Hell, I believe I did have some sort of 1Password upgrade available (I might be mistaken, I updated a small handful of apps last week) and chose to ignore it solely for the convenience - and I mean that quite literally - of moving my application license back to the Mac App Store. I understand that there is historic precedent for these upgrades, but I'd add that much of that precedent also dates back to the days of software packages costing hundreds, if not many hundreds, or many, many, many hundreds of dollars. My take, then an now, being when did the decision on the part of some developers to offer upgrade pricing become an entitlement. I’ve been on this bandwagon for years - at least since the debates about the unavailability of upgrade pricing on the (various) App Store(s). Why does that mean you should pay less for next version? So you paid them some money four years ago and have enjoyed the value of that purchase since. Most companies will charge you a special price for being a previous customer as oppsed to a new one.
Like the original poster wrote, my jaw hit the desk when I saw the upgrade was full price, even though I have been a customer for 4 years.
