With 1Password 6 for Windows that is the case, but not with 1Password 7.

It doesn't. But that is the recommended solution. You _can_ subscribe and use a standalone vault. But you're missing out on functionality that you're paying for that way.
Thank you Ben. Yes, I get that. There's a subset (maybe 10-20%) of data that I can't (in some cases because of legislation)/don't want to put in the cloud, while the majority would be just fine. So, yes, I'd have to accept the compromise.
Thank you again, I have now acquired a subscription and version 7 looks very nice indeed.
