  • Tip:  Always save your EndNote library to your local hard drive. It WILL become corrupt (unusable) over time if you save it to a flash drive, the cloud, or a network drive.
  • If you're asked for a product key:
    • Navigate to where you downloaded the EndNote program folder
    • Unzip or extract all files from the compressed folder
    • From the extracted files, open the .msi file;  this should continue the installation process of the program on your computer
    • There is a help guide on the download site called "EndNote 20 Installation Walkthrough"
