Not impressed with the decision to make this available only to subscribers and not those who purchased the product upfront. It would't be such an issue if it hadn't been a reasonably expensive purchase!

What do they expect us to do? Pay the upfront cost and then become a subscriber as well?! Ridiculous.

1) Maybe it's coming down the line, or maybe there are technical reasons why this is only possible through the subscription-based option. Their forums are excellent so you can ask them—if it hasn't been asked already—and I'm sure you'll get an excellent response in return. I've used their forum extensively to submit ideas of the years to request features. I can't say that I was the first to have the idea, but I've certainly made many suggestions that did appear later on, like Watchtower. I'm still waiting for a proper health section to appear and an option for notifications (or a tie into Calendar) when an expiry date is about to expire.

2) If this is an issue, you can also just turn off your device when you cross a border, manually create a separate Vault with minimal items, or just delete the app from your device until you're over the border where you can install again (hopefully with a VPN connected). You do have options, and since 1P is best in class I wouldn't worry about the small stuff.
