Product information
EndNote is a reference manager that helps you save time formatting citations, so you can focus on your research.
The Endnote license is a cross-platform license and you are allowed to install the product on a Mac or Windows computer.
License terms
The EndNote license is an annual subscription license which must be renewed each licensing term, if you still have the software installed, regardless of the amount of usage.
Check your order summary to see when the license term ended. If the license term has expired or is about to expire, a new annual license is available for purchase on the Software Catalog.
You are limited to one computer per license. If you need to install the software on multiple computers, you need to purchase a license for every computer you need to install the software on.
Except for lab installations, each license purchased entitles you to install the software on up to 3 computers provided:
- The computers are university owned or leased computers that are assigned to you for your usage or the computers are your personally owned or leased computers.
- You are the only user of the software installed on the computers
- You only access the software on one computer at a time
Obtain EndNote
Eligible students and employees may purchase EndNote annual licenses from the Software Catalog.
After purchase, the serial number and installation files are provided on your order history.
EndNote library
EndNote libraries should be kept on your computer's hard drive. Storing and editing libraries on a network drive or cloud-syncing folders can lead to corruption and performance issues.
EndNote libraries should be kept on your computer's hard drive and can be synchronized between desktop and laptop computers, the online library, and an iOS device using EndNote Sync.
For additional information, see EndNote FAQ: Library & Database Transfer.
Library back up
Backing up your files is essential to securely saving all your hard work. Each EndNote library is made up of a file with the extension .ENL plus a corresponding .DATA folder. Always back up both folders.
Use the Save a Copy command or one of the Compressed Library commands to save a copy of your library to a removable disk (or elsewhere) for safekeeping.
We recommend you back up your EndNote library files before installing and uninstalling EndNote, and before upgrading your operating system.
Sharing your library
You can share your EndNote library with anyone using EndNote 2025 and EndNote 21. For more information, see sync and share FAQ and library sharing and editing.
