I need to structure the report logically: Introduction, Understanding EndNote X7, Legal Considerations, Alternatives, Conclusion. Make sure each section flows into the next. Also, include a FAQ to address common questions, like where to buy, free trials, piracy risks, and alternatives with links.

I should also suggest alternatives for those who can't afford the software, like EndNote Basic (which is free), other reference management tools like Zotero or Mendeley, or check if their institution provides access to EndNote. It's important to promote lawful options and maybe even explain how to get free trials for newer versions of EndNote.

(Ethical, Legal, and Practical Guidance for Users) Overview EndNote X7 is an older version of EndNote , a widely used reference management software developed by Clarivate for academic researchers, students, and professionals. It enables users to organize citations, generate bibliographies, and integrate with Microsoft Word for seamless document formatting.

Hmm, but wait, distributing or using pirated software is illegal and unethical. The user might not be aware of that, so I should consider that angle. They might need this because they can't afford the software, or maybe they found an old version and want to try it. My job is to provide accurate information while steering them towards legal alternatives.

I should make sure the language is clear and helpful, not too technical, but still informative. Avoid any suggestions that could lead the user to engage in piracy. Emphasize the support and benefits of using legitimate software through proper channels. Alright, let me structure this step by step, making sure each part is covered appropriately.
