Reboot

Doing a reboot of the computer will solve a majority of the issues. 

Check browser will launch the client

When you first launch AppsAnywhere and click on a link, your web browser will ask you if you want to allow it to open an applications.  You always want to say yes to this.  If you checked the box to remember and clicked on no, you will have to reset your browser cache.

Chrome open link in associated app

Remove from Cloudpaging Player

Sometimes the cloudpaging player has some issues with applications and relaunching will not fix the issue as the program is cached locally.  Easiest way to try and resolve this is to remove it from the Cloudpaging player.  If the application is still listed as running you need to click on the Stop button.  If the application is not in a running status, click on remove to remove the cache of the application and try the launch again.
