My honest advice is to just make a clear statement that you're dropping standalone mode and do it. People with licenses can continue using their non-upgradeable versions as long as they want but they're not getting any more updates. That would be a lot less dishonest than pretending it's supported-ish and just hiding it deeper and deeper on every release.
We still support our customers using 1Password 3 (originally released in 2009).
You are probably right though. We should be more clear on where the future development of the product and service is going.
However, we are also 1Password users and we build the product for ourselves. We are supporting millions of customers, several thousand support emails and tickets every day. And I am honest, the membership provides much better experience compared to standalone disjoined apps, manual syncing and lack of account recovery. The list of differences and improvements is huge. It certainly makes me sad when people think that it is only about sync.
