Important information about the new EndNote X9.3.1 and later for Windows
This new version of EndNote has a new 64-bit database format and takes advantage of the 64-bit architecture if available, though a 64-bit system is not required. The X9.3.1 version also restores cross-compatibility for EndNote libraries that have been updated to X9.3 on Mac.
When you open an existing library in version X9.3.1 for Windows, it will create a converted version of the library for use with this new database engine. The original library will not be changed, so you can continue using it in version X9.2 or earlier.
Please use sync to move your data across systems and versions.
You cannot open an EndNote X9.3.1 library in EndNote X9.2 or earlier, on Mac or Windows! Instead, use Sync to move your data across systems and versions.
