EndNote is available as:
You can use them independently, or synchronise them so you can work with your EndNote references from any device: your own computer, on the Web or on your iPad. The Web and iPad versions do not have all the functionality of EndNote Desktop.
EndNote Desktop can be used on computers that run on either the operating system Windows 10 or Windows 11, with either a x86-bit or x64-bit processor.
EndNote Desktop can also be used on Apple Mac computers - both Intel-based and Apple Silicon-based Macs. Macs manufactured from late 2020 onwards have Apple Silicon-based processors in them. Older Macs, pre-late 2020, were manufactured with Intel-based processors. The type of processor you have may affect how EndNote functions on your Mac.
Mac OS 14 (also known as Sonoma) is the latest version of the OS operating system. EndNote 21 is the latest version of the software. It is compatible with Mac OS Sonoma. EndNote 20 and earlier were not designed for Sonoma and so Clarivate suggest that users upgrade to EndNote 21.
The Cite While You Write (CWYW) add-in requires the use of either of the following versions of Word: 2016, 2019, 2021 or Office365. This applies to Word running on both Windows and Mac computers.
In EndNote 21, you can open and use libraries created in EndNote 20, and vice versa. If you use EndNote 20 to open an EndNote 21 library that includes 'Tags', you will not see the Tags because the Tags feature was introduced with version 21.
Clarivate introduced a new database engine from EndNote X9.3 onwards, so EndNote libraries created in versions X9.3, 20 or 21 are not backwardly compatible with older versions of EndNote. When you use EndNote X9.3, 20 or 21 to open a library that was created in an earlier version, you will be prompted to create a new converted library.
