Download EndNote 2025 through your SURFspot order and use the guide for Windows or macOS. On Windows, always extract the complete downloaded package before starting installation. Otherwise, EndNote may incorrectly request a licence key during or after installation.
Install EndNote 2025 on Windows

- Open the downloaded file and follow the installation steps.

Are you asked for a licence key?
First check how your licence is supplied. Students and staff of Radboud University Nijmegen do not need a separate licence key for the SURFspot edition of EndNote 2025. If Windows still requests a key, remove the incomplete installation and reinstall from a fully extracted folder.
