After installing EndNote, be sure to visit EndNote Web to create an account. Click "Register" on the right side. We recommend when filling this out, to use your current institution email i.e. @crimson.ua.edu or @ua.edu, since UA has an institutional license and usually cannot be transferable.
After you have successfully created your account, be sure to next sign into your account and sync it from the web to desktop application. This can be done by opening EndNote on the desktop, going to Edit > Preferences > Sync. Click on Enable Sync and type in your username and password.
After installing EndNote, navigate to Edit > Preferences > Find Full Text.
