Open endnote database at the same time from two different computers

EndNote EndNote General

Good afternoon,

Is it possible to open an endnote database at the same time from two different computers? I try to open a database that is being used by co-workers and I get an error. 

Thanks a lot!

If a desktop library is open in the desktop application, it can’t be opened by a second user, unless the library is READ ONLY (for example in a read only folder).  Note that the EndNote developers do not recommend ever keeping the library on a network drive or ever ever in the cloud, unless you are using EndNotes “shared library” or “shared groups” tools.  

The best way to handle a shared library is for one user to share the library  (from you or to you) and opened as a “shared library”.  This can be shared with Read only, or read/write access I believe in EndNoteX9 or EndNote20.
