There is no need to block every application, especially not for Office 2011 or iWorks. I have no idea about the other apps - there should be a "read me" file with further instructions what to do.
You can also block particular apps by editing the hosts file. Maybe you have already read something about it, here is a little instruction how to open the hosts file:
1. open terminal
2. type following command: sudo nano /etc/hosts
3. type your password
if you want block a particular page you have to loopback the destination to the localhost (its your Mac):
This is the pattern: redirection original-destination, e.g.:
127.0.0.1 activate.adobe.com
I hope you have now an idea how to block a particular connection with the native tools of OS X
Edit: Be carefull while editing the hosts file. Don't delete existing entries, otherwise you will harm your system.
