Thank you all once again for your kind assistance. ...And the winner is... After submitting my Affinity authorization credentials to the challenge presented on app launch in the secondary OS user environment, the situation is resolved with no adverse effect upon my ability to use the apps when I'm logged into the primary OS user environment. I'm very psyched to be able to use the apps from within either OS user account, since that aids my work flow enormously. And I'm happy that -- in this case, at least -- the simplest solution prevailed since (as noted) I was reluctant to go digging around under the hood via the terminal screen. Best regards, kk

OK, thank you! That clarifies things for me quite a bit. Just so long as re-entering the username / pw info in the second environment doesn't preclude my using it in the first, or some other "problematic result" -- I should be fine, but I will continue reading those links first. Greatly appreciated, kk

Thank you for the links, I will look at them more closely, though the common aspect seems to be that I need to use the command line. I can do that, but will that be required every time I want to launch Affinity apps in my secondary OS User environment? ...Or is issuing that command something done once, and then not again? And I'm still not sure whether or not I need to re-enter the Affinity username / pw data when logged into the secondary OS User Account, or if I need to change something when logged into the OS UA that Affinity will launch with. It appears to me that from Walt.Ferrell's comment, I am allowed to use Affinity apps in my two environments (which, if I can get there, will be enormously helpful). But as I mentioned previously, I'm usually a bit hesitant to go under the hood. Way back when I was getting my feet wet with the command line, the person who was introducing me to it also introduced me to the phrase "With great power comes great responsibility" (which I took with great respect!) Thank you again for helping me! kk

Hello everyone, I am brand new to Affinity & loving it already. One question arises however, and I'm just not sure to which forum topic it is properly directed: I'm a registered owner with Affinity installed on a single computer (mac OS 13.2.1), who uses 2 different OS User Accounts on that machine in order to keep task environments unique. I'm able to launch the Affinity apps within the OS User environment that I was logged into when I installed them without a problem, but I encounter an Affinity username / password challenge when I launch the apps if I'm logged into the other User environment. I stopped short of resubmitting the information requested by that login challenge, because I don't want to mess anything up. Instead, before I do that, I want to ask first whether I must restrict my enjoyment of Affinity apps only to the OS User Account I was using when they were first loaded (and where they are currently working fine) -- or if it is possible to use them in both OS User environments, once I enter the Affinity username / password info again in that second OS User Account. The latter scenario would be super helpful to me, as there are occasions when I want to make edits on the fly when I'm logged into that second user environment -- but I can totally understand if "it just doesn't work that way." (The challenge I'm seeing in the second User environment might be a matter of the way Permissions on my machine are set for Affinity, but I don't usually monkey around with permissions unless I know for sure that it's OK to make changes.) If my description isn't sufficiently clear, I'm happy to rephrase this inquiry. With apologies for such a basic question, and with great appreciation, kk
