The EndNote 21 installer can be found at the bottom of the Download EndNote page. If you created a library using EndNote 2025 and want to read it using an earlier version of EndNote, it is suggested to install at least EndNote version x9.3. More details can be found here.

It is important to note that while EndNote 20 and earlier versions can open and use an EndNote 2025 or EndNote 21 library file, the tags associated with the file may not be displayed. However, these tags will be retained when the library file is opened with EndNote 2025 or EndNote 21. In addition, using the Recover Library utility with EndNote 20 or earlier can lead to the removal of tags from the library.
