The version of EndNote on the HWU Staff desktop will be upgraded from Version X7.7.1 to Version X8.0.1 on the 16th December 2017.
The upgrade will allow staff to benefit from new features offered on the more recent version of software and standardise on the same version as is on the Student desktop. Some staff have already opted to upgrade – so this upgrade will only affect staff who have not yet upgraded.
Automatic upgrade of EndNote X7.7.1
EndNote X7.7.1 will be uninstalled from all staff desktops on the 16th December 2017.
EndNote X8.0.1 will then be installed automatically (provided EndNote X7.7.1 un-installed successfully).
