Network Information
Sharing Libraries
EndNote can be used on a network to share libraries-including
networks with Macintosh® and Windows® workstations. Multiple
users can access an EndNote library simultaneously in read-only mode.
This allows users to search for references, cite them in their papers
and create bibliographies. EndNote does not allow multiple users to edit
a single library at the same time.
Deployment on Networks
On Windows networks EndNote can be deployed with MSI installer technology
using scripting or via Group Policy.
Requirements:
- Windows 2000/2003 Server with Active Directory installed
- MSI Installer
3.x on the Server and the workstations
Concurrent Metering
on a Network
The EndNote concurrent license
includes a software metering utility, SofTrack®
. The standard 5-user Concurrent license includes 20 SofTrack workstation
agents to monitor usage. Each additional EndNote concurrent license includes
four SofTrack workstation agents. You can also purchase additional SofTrack
workstation agents separately.
For information on purchasing multiple/volume
copies or concurrent use licenses please contact
your local office.

Q & A about EndNote and Networks
Q: What is the simplest way to set up an EndNote
library for shared network access?
A: The simplest way is to use the network's system of file permissions
to control the type of access allowed for users and groups. One or two people
should be assigned the responsibility for maintaining and updating the library;
these users should be granted full access to the file. All other users should
be granted read-only access.
Q: Can I format my paper with an EndNote
library that is on a network server?
A: Yes, users can format papers using a shared EndNote library.
Q: Can multiple users read the same shared
EndNote library simultaneously?
A: Multiple users can access an EndNote database simultaneously
as long as the database is restricted to Read Only or Locked status. This
will allow users to perform searches, copy information to their documents,
and format their papers. EndNote does not perform "record locking"
functions which allow multiple users to modify records in a shared database
at one time.
Q: Can multiple users add new records or
modify records to a shared EndNote library?
A: No, EndNote does not perform "record locking" functions
which allow multiple users to edit records in a shared database at one
time. If someone is writing to a shared EndNote library, everyone else
on the network will not be allowed to access the library.
Q: Do you offer special pricing to accommodate
mutiple-user access of EndNote?
A: Yes, if you purchase 5 or more copies of EndNote at one time,
there is a discount given. You may mix both Macintosh and Windows copies
under one order. |
