    Welcome to the forum, @hugot! If you previously had a license from us, you will need to download and install 1Password from our downloads page, not from the Mac App Store. The reason is that Apple doesn't know what licenses you may have purchased directly from us in the past, and they wouldn't honor it for Mac App Store version of apps anyway. If your previous version of 1Password for Mac was from the Mac App Store, then the only reasons you'd see read-only would be if you're using a different Apple ID than the one you used originally to purchase 1Password for Mac from Apple, or you didn't download from the Purchased tab of the Mac App Store.
