How to install EndNote

NTNU staff using NTNU computers can install EndNote by using the computer's software center (icon on the desktop). Start the software center, find EndNote and follow the instructions. NB! Word, Power Point and other Office apps must be closed before you start installing EndNote. When the installation is finished, open Word and check that an EndNote menu is available in a tab in the top menu.

NTNU has introduced a new solution for download of EndNote on your own PC/Mac, and the the old solution using AppsAnywhere will be retired 31.12.24. Existing EndNote users will loose access to EndNote on their computers and have to download the program again using the new solution described below.

New solution for downloading EndNote:

Student and staff at NTNU can download and install EndNote freely on private computers. EndNote and other software can be found in NTNU's software portal.

If you want to download software and install it on your private computer, this software will be marked with "DL" in the software overview (1 in the figure below). This will bring you to the download page for EndNote. You can also use EndNote virtually on your own computer without installing the software. You you use this solution, you must also use Word and the web browser from the same virtual service for EndNote to be able to communicate with them. NTNU provides two different virtual services: Programfarm (choose «Farm») and Virtuell desktop (choose «VDI»).

Download EndNote on your PC/Mac:

NB! Close Word and other Office programs before you start the installation of EndNote!

When the installation is complete, you can start EndNote. Afterwards, start Word and check if you have gotten an EndNote tab in the main Word menu. If this tab is missing, you can check out "Frequent problems" page (there is a dedication tab for this problem), or you can contact the Oracle Service or The Library.

Computers from St. Olavs/Helse Midt have EndNote installed. If EndNote is missing, contact IT support (Hemit). Please note that these computers have two versions of Word available and only of of these can be used together with EndNote (Word for EndNote). It is recommended that you open the correct Word software first and then open you document as double-clicking on Word-files will open the wrong Word.

EndNote update patches are regularly available from alerts. We recommend that you install these updates. You need to close all Office-programs before running the update. Running these updates is only available if you have downloaded EndNote using NTNU's new software installation service which is available 01.01.25.
