Step 1: Download the plugin<\/span><\/h3>\n

Download the Citation Styler Client Sync Zotero plugin: <\/span>Download<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

(<\/span>Important for Firefox users:<\/strong> Zotero is based on Firefox. As a result, it recognises the .xpi file as a browser extension and attempts to install it in Firefox itself. That\u2019s not what we want \u2013 the file belongs in Zotero. So click with the <\/span>right mouse button<\/strong> auf den Download-Link und w\u00e4hle \u201eZiel speichern unter\u2026“ bzw. \u201eLink speichern unter\u2026“, um sie herunterzuladen.)<\/span><\/p>\n

It is important that you use the email address you used to purchase the licence.<\/p>\n

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
Do I need a Zotero account?<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

Yes. During the first licence validation, your licence will be linked to your Zotero ID. The validation will not work unless you have an activated Zotero account.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
Can I use my licence on multiple devices?<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

Yes. As long as you\u2019re logged in with the same Zotero account on all your devices, you can use the plugin and your styles on as many devices as you like.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
Can my licence expire?<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

No. Your licence is valid for life \u2013 including all future updates for the styles you have purchased.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
How do I know when an update is available?<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

The plugin notifies you directly in Zotero when an updated version of one of your styles is available. You can install the update with a single click.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
I accidentally linked my licence to the wrong Zotero account. What should I do?<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

Get in touch with me via the <\/span>contact form<\/a>, then I'll unlink it and you can relink your licence.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
Where can I find my licence key?<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

In the confirmation email you received after your purchase. If you can\u2019t find the email, please get in touch with me.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
I use Firefox and the download isn't working properly.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

Firefox attempts to install .xpi files as browser extensions. Right-click on the download link and select \u201cSave target as\u2026\u201d to save the file locally instead. You can then install it as usual via Zotero.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
Does the plugin also work with older versions of Zotero?<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

The plugin has been developed for Zotero 7 and later. I cannot guarantee compatibility with older versions.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
I bought styles before the changeover. What should I do?<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

Your existing styles will continue to work. However, if you\u2019d like to receive updates in future, please contact me \u2013 I\u2019ll issue you with a licence for the styles you\u2019ve already purchased. You can then use the plugin shown above to access the latest version directly.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section><\/div>\n
