If you leave the University your EndNote desktop version will no longer receive updates. However, you will still be able to use EndNote Online.
There are two versions of EndNote Online: a 'premium' version, and a 'basic' version. See the comparison chart for further details.
You can retain 'premium' level access for up to one year after graduating. When this expires, your EndNote Online account will revert to an EndNote Basic account (the 'basic' version). This means you will have reduced storage capacity and limited access to styles (see comparison chart linked above for this and other differences).
To ensure you have 'premium' access for 1 year after graduating you need to make sure you have an active EndNote Online account.
If you already have an EndNote Online account, you just need to authenticate it before you leave by connecting to EndNote Online from an authenticated IP address.
If you do not have an EndNote Online account, you'll need to create one through EndNote desktop:
Useful information:
All University of Notre Dame students and staff members have access to a 'premium' level EndNote Online account for 2 years from the date of creating their account through EndNote desktop.
If the University upgrades its version of EndNote, then EndNote Online accounts are reactivated at the next sync (giving you 'premium' level access for 2 years from the upgrade date).
Once logged in to EndNote Online you can check the status of your account through Options > Subscription. You will see two expiration dates, one from the date you created your account and one from the last time you logged in from an authenticated IP address. The later of the two dates applies as the expiry date.
Please note: If you sign up to EndNote Online using your University email address (@nd.edu.au) you will need to change this as this address becomes invalid after graduation. Change the email address you use to login to EndNote Online through Options > Email Address.
