Reading forum messages and discovering an update for Office 365 for Mac will not be available until next year was disturbing. If true, the company is failing to communicate with customers and it is undermining your trustworthiness. You are becoming known in academia as an antiquated, untrustworthy company, no longer in tune with customer needs.
I suspect that a large portion, if not the majority of the revenue stream for EndNote is from large site licenses, not individual end-users who purchase single copies of the software. If this is true, then perhaps the best way to get the attention of the company may be for those of us at large institutions (I’m at a University of California campus) with large site licenses to complain to our Library Committees and software licensing offices about the company’s lack of responsiveness. Our budgets are being squeezed hard, and when a few years ago the faculty at the University of California complained about exorbitant site license fees from Elsevier for Science Direct, Elsevier blinked. These software site licenses should have some performance requirements and have penalties for long delays of patches that make the software unusable for large numbers of their users.
I will file a complaint with our software licensing office to point out that more than half the students at our campus are on Macs, and that this site license is not meeting the needs of the campus end users.
For those of you at institutions with large site licenses, please consider this as a way to put pressure on the company to get their act together.

Hey Jason (and all the others employees who have stopped coming to this forum post due to their incapacity to provide us with solutions),
Just to let you what Microsoft Word for Mac is saying after their most recent update: “VERSION 15.16. Updated Citation Styles for Research Papers. Added new support for common citation styles and updated existing citation styles to reflect recent version guidelines.”
What is your excuse now?
For those of you who may be interested, testing on Beta builds of Cite While You Write with Word 2016 for Mac will begin on Monday, November 30th. Please see this post:
Does Mendeley import easily from Endnote?
Yes - enough people have been doing it that they provide a step-by-step walkthrough.
Yes, and it is, by far, a much better product than Thomson Reuters’ EndNote. Even the basic version offers so much more than EN. Do not hesitate to change to Mendeley.
Galindes, please don’t take this the wrong way, but is Medeley really better than EN or are you (justifiably) piqued at TR for their delay in releasing an update? I’ve found EN to be superb with the earlier versions of Word in terms of ease of finding references, generating bibliographies, etc., and am planning to beta test the new version beginning November 30.
I don’t know Mendeley and am hesitant to learn a new system if I don’t have to. We weren’t all complaining about EN functionality before this release delay.
I’d be interested in hearing the salient differences between the two programs.
Indeed. I find EN absolutely flawless with Word 2014 while Mendeley is a nightmare at creating styles.
I think most of us can agree in terms of features, usability and user-friendliness, Endnote is better than Mendely. It feels more… complete. But that being said, Mendely is adequate for taking care of your reference needs while waiting for the new version of EN. The basic functionality (adding and managing references, adding them to word, etc.) is equivalent to EN, so there’s not really much you’d have to learn to temporarily switch over. I think, as bengi has pointed out, that the biggest drawback with Mendely is related to editing styles. Right now, I’m using Mendely, because I simply can’t sit around and wait for the new version of EN. But when TR finally does release a version that supports Mac 2016 for Word, I’ll probably switch back again, even though I have to admit, it irks me that they’ll get so easily away with the attitute they’ve displayed on these forums.
Ironically, Today I received a message from Thomson reuters, anouncing the TOP 100 Gloval Innovators of this year. I havn’t looked it up, however Thomson Reuters will not be on the list. Where is EndNote for WORD 2016 for Mac? The upgrade was promised for autumn 2015. Within 27 days it will be winter!
It is now November 25, Thanksgiving, and there is no sign of an announced release of an EndNote 7.4 upgrade for Word 2016 for Mac. That is already five months after complaints were posted in July. Therefore I am still using OS X Yosemite and Microsoft Office 2011.
aarts, see the note on a previous page announcing the start of a beta test for Word 2016 and EN on November 30.
It looks as though anyone already using the latest version of EN can sign up for the beta.
Just curious - Has anyone been notified of the beta yet?
Nope.
May be was November 30th… of 2016

Testing on Beta builds of Cite While You Write with Word 2016 for Mac has begun. Go to http://endnote.com/betasignup to get started. Let us know how the beta is working for you.
This is just ridiculous. Why did you make us sign up for the fake-Beta the whole time? I get the impression we are part of some sort of behavioral experiment how resilient end users of Thomson products are. I wish I would have landed in the control group.

It does work. Just sign up and you will receive an email with the downloading file. Just be sure you qualify to install it, that is Single User license for EndNote X7 Mac not a corporate one.
Agreed, this is indeed rather ridiculous. I was under the impression I had already signed up to be in the BETA programme…

The original link was to be added to the list to receive an email with instructions when the beta is available. The new link (http://endnote.com/betasignup) is for anyone who has not received the email with instructions or has yet to sign up for the beta. If you have not received an email yet, you can use the http://endnote.com/betasignup link.
