Can I Use EndNote for Mac in Windows?

If you've recently purchased EndNote for your Mac, you may be wondering whether it's possible to use the same software on a Windows computer. The good news is that EndNote has an online version that can be connected to your EndNote desktop library, allowing you to access and manage your references across both platforms.

To ensure seamless integration between your Mac and Windows computers, it's essential to save both files in the same location. Avoid saving files on shared drives, as this may lead to file corruption and data loss. Instead, choose a folder or location where both files can be stored safely.

When you create an EndNote library, two separate files are generated: the library.enl file and the data file. To install EndNote desktop for your Mac, you only need the installer file (EndNote20SiteInstaller.dmg). Follow the download process and delete any downloaded files before proceeding with the installation.

If you encounter issues during the installation process, such as a window popping up about entering a license key or an error message when installing EndNote for Windows, it's likely that the download process was not completed correctly. In this case, try downloading the installer file (EN20Inst.msi) and saving it to the same folder location as your license file.

For Windows users, the installation process requires two files: a license file and an installer file. If you're a Columbia University faculty, staff, or student with full access privileges, you can download a free copy of EndNote desktop and access Endnote online.

In summary, using EndNote for Mac in Windows is possible through the online version, which allows you to connect your EndNote desktop library across both platforms. To ensure successful integration, save files in the same location and follow the correct installation steps for your operating system.
