I've currently transitioned most if not all of my license information for software into 1Password including the serial number, purchasing information, a copy of the invoice and receipt etc. However, ...

Hi Ben. I appreciate you getting back to me. You'll have to pardon me if I am reading this the wrong way, but am a bit blown away at this point. I am sorry to hear that your company doesn't feel that something as simple as an expiration date field is something that doesn't seem important when it comes to Software Licenses. Especially if this is something already built into the software and currently active in other databases like Drivers Licenses and Outdoor Licensees. Being able to track if you have an upcoming expiring Software subscription that is expiring is VERY important for budgetary purposes! OH! Wow. You might even be able to integrate in 1Password individual and Family subscriptions in there too as I use this feature to track that as well. But jeez that not just for us home users. What about the multi-million or billion dollar businesses out there that NEED to track their licenses and HAVE to make sure that they keep everything up to date or they end up paying penalties for not renewing their licenses on time. Having this simply field solves that. And what's wrong with customizing the system? Haven't you proven to every single password manager out there that you are the best one there is BECAUSE you are so customizable? Because you can add so many varying fields? After all, I know hundreds of people I have spoken to and at least 50 I have personally recommended your product to BECAUSE of how customizable it is and because it allows for a desktop version to be installed when others have removed those features. Yes, I understand that it can be harder to support at times. More things are bound to break. But you are giving the customers what they want and sorely LACK in other products.
But if having a field that already exists in the system, the fact that if you add it might mean that others will feel entitled to ask for something as well so that they can customize 1password to work better for them and it takes away the power you guys have to make decisions and not us for the amount of money we spend? Ok. Thank you for answering my question. Have a good day.
