EndNote - Installation


Introduction

 

EndNote - Account Creation, Before Installation

EndNote X8 and later versions support online libraries. This helps the user keep their library in sync across multiple computers. It also allows them to collaborate with other online users. In order to have a library the user will need to create an account with Endnote. 

1. Create your own Endnote account using XXXX@umich.edu on Endnote.com. You'll need that account and password to Sync Endnote libraries.
 
2. You must share Endnote libraries using Endnote and the Endnote cloud, NOT Dropbox.
 
3. There is no problem sharing Word documents via Dropbox.
 
4. You can install Endnote on up to 3 (including personal) machines as long as you are affiliated with MM.
 
5. Don't use Endnote on several machines simultaneously. It won't update correctly. Just use it, if you use it across several machines, in sequence, not in parallel.
 
The installers are on Endnote's installer page
 
You should have your Endnote account before starting the install so you can key it into Endnote to enable Sync in preferences after the install completes.
