- We encourage Mac users to update their operating system (if possible) to at least Big Sur. Both Big Sur and Monterey (the newest OS) seem to be working well with EndNote 20x (20.1, 20.1).
- Need to open a old EndNote library (9x.2 or earlier)? Check the Troubleshooting tab for Conversion information.
Mac OS Monterey, Mac OS Big Sur, Mac OS Catalina
- All can run EndNote 20, which is the most recent EndNote version. When you download EndNote 20, you'll be prompted to download an updater for EndNote 20.1 and 20.2. If you are not prompted, select "Check for updates" from the EndNote 20 menu and update to the highest number (20.x) update you can.
Mac OS prior to Catalina
- If you are running Mojave or earlier, the system will run 32-bit software, but not 64-bit. The best option would be to update your OS to at least Catalina.
- If you cannot update to Catalina due to age or limitations of your computer, you may need an earlier EndNote version, X9.2. We no longer keep the X9.2 version on the Libraries download page. Contact Sandra Riggs, sriggs@uga.edu, to obtain X9.2.
- If your computer is having difficulties with EndNote due to storage space, speed, or age, you may want to consider using a web-based citation manager, such as RefWorks. Contact your librarian to discuss options.
