"Are you using 1PW 7.x or 1PW 6.x or lower? If 6.x or lower, you will not have an upgrade path to 7.x that doesn't force you to purchase a subscription. They turned off the servers that provision standalone licenses so you are stuck on 6.x if you want to keep a standalone vault on your Mac."
If I'm reading you right, this is wrong. I'm using 1Password 7.9.2, and I don't subscribe. I have been using 1Password since early versions and I have never subscribed. I'm speaking from experience, not from what I've read or what someone told me.
1PW on your iPhone, or on your Mac? Because to use it on a Mac, you’d have to purchase the license to use it after the trial period ends. More than that, if you don’t purchase it, it would leave your vault in read-only mode until you purchase the license. That has been that way since 1PW 3.x for the Mac.
That is why the distinction is made between a subscription and a license. The license is for standalone vaults that you can keep on your Mac, where a subscription is stored in the cloud somewhere, or on 1PW’s servers.
"That is my problem as well, as I'm on 1PW 6.8.9 on my Mac, using Sierra. I have since migrated over to Enpass, and am about to pull the trigger on a new Mac, as mine is almost 11 years old."
I'm surprised you never upgraded to High Sierra. What kind of Mac are you planning to get?
13” mid-2011 MacBook Air. High Sierra is the last OS supported for my Mac, but it never ran stable on it. I’ve been solid on Sierra ever since, though I’m about to pull the trigger on the latest MBP.
