Hey there @volcom45

Yes, switching the release channel in the Advanced tab of Preferences is all you need to do to change from Beta to Production. When the next Production update is available, 1Password will download that and install it, which will also change over your Dock icon. :)

Installing the Production version over the top by downloading it from the website will run into database errors, like the one you saw. If you want to force the change from Beta to Production right now, you can install the Production version from our website, then reset 1Password on your Mac to delete the local copy of the database and re-sync everything from 1Password.com.

If you're OK to wait until the next Production update, that's the easier and safer way to do it. Let me know if you run into any trouble or would like any more help. :)
