These instructions refer to installation of EndNote 20 on your own PC or laptop – they assume Windows 10. Mac users should consult the information about using EndNote on a Mac.
Our Endnote licence requires you to remove the Endnote software from your PC if you cease to be a student or staff member of UC.
Before you start installation
Always back up your EndNote libraries before doing anything major with EndNote.
Ensure Microsoft Office suite (Word, Excel, Outlook) is closed.
If you have an earlier version of EndNote, you don't need to uninstall it, although it is recommended. The new version will override the old one and you will not lose all your EndNote Library/Libraries saved in the old version.
If you have a version earlier than X9.3 then 20 will change your file format, you will end up with a new copy of your library with the name 'converted' in it. The original library remains.
Using Office
EndNote 20 is compatible with Microsoft Office. See the EndNote site for up-to-date details on compatibility.
