If you have many references stored in Endnote, a more economical solution is to rely on one of the many freely available BibTeX reference managers. Many of them will import key-less references and then will give you the option to generate keys automatically for the whole library. BibDesk (Macintosh only) does it almost automatically. JabRef (written in Java) offers it as an option.
