Getting EndNote [1]

The latest versions of EndNote at UTS are

• EndNote X6.0.1 for Windows
• EndNote X6.0.2 for Macintosh

They can be downloaded from this web page at no cost, ONLY to authorised members of the University of Technology, Sydney. If you already have a version of EndNote: do you need to upgrade? [2]

Off campus users can only download this file via the Library proxy server, which requires a valid UTS Webmail username and password to access. See Online Access [3].

Earlier versions of EndNote are also available.

The EndNote files are large (up to 90 MB). If you have a slow internet connection, UTS staff and students should download the EndNote installation file onto a USB from an on-campus computer and then transfer it from the USB to the desktop of your home computer.

Downloading EndNote for Windows

System and Word Processor Requirements:

• EndNote X6 will work with the 32-bit or 64-bit versions of Word 2010, or with Word 2007 or 2003.
• Note that EndNote X3 and earlier versions will not work with Office 2010.
• EndNote X6 will run on Windows XP (service pack 3), Vista (32/64 bit) or Windows 7 (32/64 bit).
• EndNote's Support Site has more information on compatibility with word-processing software [4].
• Installation of EndNote requires software capable of handling .zip format archives and also requires MSI installation - you will need the latest Windows updates installed to do this.

Instructions (please particularly note step 2):

1. Click on EndNote_X601.zip [5] and then on the link of the same name on the next page (requires your login details). Save the file to your Desktop. The saved file will be called EndNote_X601.zip. If the file is saved to your Downloads folder, move it from there onto your Desktop.
2. Right click on the downloaded zip folder and select Extract All ... (if you don't see this option, use Extract here (in new folder) instead. You may need to choose PeaZip to see this).
3. Follow prompts and files will be extracted to a new folder called EndNote_X601 which should also be on your Desktop.
4. Open this folder and double click on the ENX6Inst.msi file (this file can have a different name in earlier versions)
5. Follow the prompts to install the configuration you require. If you are asked for a product key, this is because you have not properly extracted the file as instructed in steps 2 and 3 above. Make sure you are installing from the file in the extracted folder, not from the file of the same name in the zip folder you downloaded. You should not be asked for a product key. If you are asked, it means that you have not done step 2.
6. After installation you can delete the two EndNote_X601 folders from your desktop.
7. If you wish to use Harvard (UTS) referencing style with EndNote [6] you will need to download it also.
8. Older versions of EndNote [7] are available if required.
