Apple has released macOS 10.15 Catalina. Apple has made the decision to drop all 32-bit application support with this release, which will impact EndNote. Therefore, EndNote X9.3.0 and higher for macOS 10.15 Catalina has been released.
November 20, 2019-- EndNote X9.3.2 is now available for Mac
The EndNote X9.3.2 Mac (Bld: 15235) update contains:
- Compatible with macOS Catalina
- New database engine to comply with Apple’s 64-bit compatibility requirements
NOTE: When you open an existing library in X9.3 and later for Mac, it will create a converted version for use with this new database engine. The original library will not be changed, so you can continue using it X9.2 or earlier. Alternatively, use Sync to move your data across systems and versions. - Dark Mode support

- Other improvements and bug fixes
- Resolved an issue with the software updater (fixed in X9.3.1)

Automatically Update and alternative update options
If you obtain a new full license, you most probably have received the newest version. Setting up the EndNote application should be quite straight forward and easy. If you already have a single user, multi user or Site license EndNote X9.x for Mac, than follow the instructions below.
There are different ways to update an existing EndNote X9.x for Mac version to EndNote X9.3.2 for Mac.
- In EndNote X9, under the 'EndNote X9' menu, choose 'Check for Updates…'. Follow the instructions to automatically get updated.
- If the above does not work, alternatively, download from your original (single user, multi user, site license) download location the 'EndNoteX932UpdateInstaller.zip' and run the file.
- If the above both do not work, download from your original (single user, multi user, site license) download location the FULL DOWNLOAD FILE which should be the latest version (e.g., EndNote X9.3.2 for Mac). Please backup your 'Applications\EndNote X9' folder, your libraries and your MS Word documents/manuscripts (always necessary to have backups). Then move your 'Applications\EndNote X9' folder to the recycle bin. Run the installer via the FULL EndNote X9 DOWNLOAD FILE.
After the update or (re)new installation, check 'EndNote X9 > About EndNote' and it should say version X9.3.2 and build 15235.
The first time you open an existing library, EndNote will ask you to convert the library. It will keep the original older version library files and convert the library under a different name. Keep the older version formatted files untill you are satisfied with the newest version libraries.
