If you have not already registered in EndNote Classic (formerly known as EndNote Basic), the free version, you'll need to follow these steps:
- Go to myendnoteweb.com and click "Register" in the box to the right.
- Fill in the required information on the registration page.
- Click "Register" when finished. EndNote will display an activation message and send a confirmation email.
- In the confirmation email, click the link to activate your account.
When syncing for the first time, you will be prompted to decide whether or not EndNote will automatically download file attachments from your EndNote online library. Note: Favorited references are set to have file attachments automatically download by default, but this can be switched off.
