Additional v7 standalone licence?!

@claus - thanks for the suggestion. We sold standalone licenses for 1Password 7 for Mac for about three years, from May, 2018 through a few months ago. Anyone who wanted one was welcome to purchase it during that period. We stopped selling licenses recently in large part because we knew that 1Password 8 would not include standalone licensing nor local vault support and we did not want users purchasing licenses for a version that would soon be replaced, with no path to use/transfer their license. The presumption (which is borne out by multiple commenters here) is that those users who intentionally sought out standalone licensing are not interested in a subscription, and we didn't want anyone feeling we'd sold them a license that we knew shortly would have no non-membership upgrade path to the new version.

That said, 1Password 7 for Mac is not "going away." It is still available for download from https://1password.com/downloads, and it will be for some time to come. Licenses already purchased for version 7 (or any other version, for that matter) never expire, so they can be used to license 1Password for as long as you have hardware and OS versions and browsers that are compatible with the version for which you have a license. And we have always committed to applying security fixes if necessary to older versions. Eventually, over time, 1Password 7 for Mac is likely to be less compatible with newer versions of web browser technologies and versions of macOS, just as 1Password 3 for Mac will not run on the last few versions of macOS. But there will be no switch thrown to "turn off" 1Password 7 for Mac on the day that 1Password 8 for Mac is released. I think this is (mostly) what you were asking for anyway, so hope this is helpful in clarifying the path forward. :)
