Mac users - please read.
EndNote Desktop version X9.2 or earlier will not work with Mac OS Catalina. This operating system is designed for programs with 64-bit format.
EndNote version X9.3 is compatible with Catalina. X9.3 is also compatible with older Mac operating systems, including the one which precedes Catalina. However, the new EndNote library format that X9.3 is designed for (i.e. 64-bit format) is NOT compatible with older Mac EndNote versions, such as X9.2 or earlier. This means that when Mac users open their existing older version library in X9.3 or later for Mac, EndNote will convert their older version library to 64-bit format upon pressing Yes (see screenshot below). The original 32-bit EndNote library will remain unchanged should you need to use it with older versions of EndNote (X9.2 or earlier).
You should first download and install the latest EndNote X9.3 version update for Macs BEFORE you update to your personal device to Mac OS Catalina: Students: X9.3.3 EndNote update, Staff: X9.3.3 EndNote update.
If you have already upgraded to Catalina BEFORE updating your EndNote program to X9.3, you will be unable to open EndNote in the Applications folder as it will be disabled. Older EndNote versions will not run. To fix this, you will need to download and install (or re-install) version X9.3 update (see above two links).
