Mass Program Installations
About Mass Program Installations
Windows
With the volume/site license version of EndNote, a network administrator can use mass installation to install EndNote on multiple Windows machines.
Please make sure that you meet these requirements before installing:
- Make sure EndNote is licensed for the appropriate number of users. See Networks and Volume Installations (Licensing of Volume Copies).
- Make sure that each computer is running one of the following Windows operating systems.
- Windows 10
- Windows 11
In Administrative Mode, the EndNote installer will prompt for a volume product key, which generates a License.dat file. The License.dat file must accompany the installer for volume license distribution in order to later bypass the product key installation prompt. See Unlocking the Volume/Site License Installer.
Deployment Methods
You can deploy the EndNote installer to multiple machines in one of these ways:
You can use the provided MSI Command Line Options for guidance. If you need additional information, refer to Microsoft’s mass installation documentation and command line documentation.
Content File Installation
Early versions of EndNote always installed all predefined content files (output styles, import filters, and connection files). These number in the thousands, and when they are all installed they can affect the speed and performance of EndNote. In EndNote , a typical installation includes only the most popular styles, filters, and connection files. If you do not know what subset of files are required by your users, you may want to install all files. You can do this by setting the property "INSTALLALLCONTENTFILES" to "yes." See Installing All Content Files.
macOS
Because of macOS security requirements, users cannot create a site installer for EndNote. When you purchase a volume/site license, Clarivate will provide a site installer for your institution. If you have any questions, please contact your sales representative.
