How do I transfer my license (from App Store purchase) to new Mac?

I had bought 1Password 7 via the App Store. On my old laptop under the 1Password7 menu I see a License... menu option. This says I'm licensed and can use 1Password on as many Macs as needed.

I transferred my settings and data (not apps) to a new Mac. I reinstalled 1Password7 from the App Store. But the license didn't come over. Now, when I launch 1Password, I can read all my Vault data, but I can't make any changes, and I'm always prompted for an account.

How can I transfer my purchased 1Password7 license to this new Mac?

Thanks.

1Password Version: 1Password 7 Version 7.9.2 (70902004) Mac App Store
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: macOS 12.2

    I'm not sure how that is possible without a membership. As Tommy said, the Mac App Store version of 1Password 7 is membership-only. But, if it is working for you, perhaps it is best to leave it at that. :)

    I'm not sure what you mean by it only supports the membership options since I clearly have a Mac App Store version that's licensed (and I don't have a 1Password account). What I did do -- and this worked -- was to mount my old Mac in disk target mode and copy the 1Password app from the old Mac to the new one. Now when I launch it on the new Mac I see the "License" menu option and all read/write activities work. So it would see that the license lives in the executable .app directory and not as a data preference of the user.
