Are you running them in Trial mode, or have you purchased and activated licenses?

I purchased the package -- 3 apps.  There is some sort of conflict with the firewall because if I go offline and exit the firewall or change its setting to "enable all", the apps will start.

Which Firewall are you running? Does it tell you which URLs it's trying to connect to/blocking?

I imagine it's because we're trying to use local networking to setup an IPC connection to the other Affinity apps, in order to share content and account data etc.

What firewall software are you using? Perhaps it's being too aggressive on loopback connections?

You could try putting the apps into the LocalSystem zone - this should allow them to start up.

However, if you purchased through the Affinity Store, you'll need to activate the app, which requires (one-time) internet access. We would suggest then that you use a less locked-down zone, if only temporarily.
