EndNote X1/X2 OS X Install steps

To distribute multiple copies of EndNote in accordance with a volume site license agreement, an administrator must first create a redistributable disk image of EndNote.

First, the administrator creates a redistributable file:
  1. Open the EndNoteX1Installer.dmg or EndNoteX2Installer.dmg file.
  2. Do not drag the EndNote X1/X2 folder to your hard disk; instead, immediately double click on the folder.
  3. Run the EndNote X1/x2 file.
  4. On the Volume/Site License Registration page, enter the Licensee information and your volume Product Key. You must also accept the terms of the volume license agreement.
  5. Click Next. Please wait while the installer creates a new disk image titled:

    EndNote X1 Site Installer.dmg or EndNote X2 Site Installer.dmg

  6. Unmount (drag to the Trash) any EndNote disk image other than the EndNote X1 Site Installer.dmg or EndNote X2 Site Installer.dmg.
  7. Distribute the EndNote X1 Site Installer.dmg or EndNote X2 Site Installer.dmg file to your end users.
For other options for deploying the network version, see the "Using EndNote on the Network" chapter of the EndNote manual.
Windows:

You must run the MSI installer in Administrative Mode in order to enter your EndNote X1/X2 volume license product key.

Recommended easy installation:

EndNote X1/X2 downloaded installer

EndNote X1.0.1/X2 CD

EndNote X1.0.1/X2 CD easy deployment steps:

  1. Insert the X1.0.1/X2 Install CD.
  2. When the Autorun launches (if you have disabled Autorun, open the CD and choose "Autorun.exe"), choose "Install Volume" from the list.
  3. When prompted, enter your EndNote volume license product key.
    Do not select the option titled "Perform Administrative Installation."
    When the installation is complete, you will find a license.dat file in the target directory, and a ENX1Inst.msi or an ENX2inst.msi depending on the version you installed.
  4. Deploy the MSI (ENX1Inst.msi or ENX2inst.msi) and the license.dat together.
    You can deploy in any way you want, but make sure the two files are in the same directory when executed. You could zip the two files to distribute them to end users, you could create a Group Policy deployment where both files are delivered to the same location on the target machine, or you could simply drop the two files in a shared network location from which users execute the installer.

    Note: If EndNote is distributed on a CD or other removable media, your users will need a copy of the CD when applying patches.

  5. (Optional) For each additional user account on a computer, log in (administrative rights are not necessary), go to the Start menu, look under All Programs>EndNote and run Configure EndNote to configure Palm OS support for the current user. You must do this if you want to use this EndNote feature.
