I can't answer both questions, just one.

There is, to the best of my knowledge, no network-aware versions of the
program, no password protection, no sharing capability at all.  The program's
original design was clearly as a single-person database -- which is fine, but
I suspect that Niles is now hemmed in by that decision.  And, as a result,
us too. HOWEVER, when one copy of Endnote opens the Endnote database, no
other
program can open it (this is standard DOS-available file-locking).  Hence
there is no possibility of two people modifying the database inconsistently
at the same time.  It's not much but it's better than nothing.
