Perpetual Visio Professional 2016, 2019 and 2021 licenses for flowcharts, network diagrams and floor plans. One Windows PC.
1 products
A Visio Professional license key lets you use Microsoft's desktop diagramming app on your computer with no time limit. Visio is a standalone app that is not part of any Office suite and is sold separately. This category offers the 2016, 2019 and 2021 releases of Visio Professional. Each license covers one Windows PC and needs no subscription.
Visio is built for flowcharts, org charts, network diagrams, floor plans and business process maps. Ready-made templates and shape libraries let you create tidy drawings without starting from a blank page. Data-linked diagrams are where Visio really shines. You can connect shapes to Excel, Access, SQL Server or SharePoint data so that changes in the data show up in the diagram.
IT teams documenting networks and servers, business analysts mapping processes and developers sketching software architecture in UML all rely on Visio. The BPMN 2.0 and UML 2.5 templates help keep drawings in line with those standards.
Every license in this category is the Professional edition. Compared with Standard, Professional adds data linking, extra templates such as BPMN and UML, and collaboration features. Visio 2021 is the most recent option and suits Windows 10 and Windows 11 PCs. Visio 2019 is chosen for compatibility with PCs running Office 2019, while Visio 2016 fits older systems such as Windows 7 SP1 and 8.1 and works alongside Office 2016.
Microsoft support has ended for all three releases. The apps keep working but receive no new security updates. Unless you need to match a specific Office release, Visio 2021 is the sensible pick.
Visio has to be installed in the same bitness as the Office on your PC, either 32-bit or 64-bit, because different bitness versions cannot run side by side on one computer. The Visio Professional desktop app is Windows only and does not run on a Mac. If you do not have an Office license yet, the perpetual releases in the Microsoft Office category are worth a look.
The release is the main factor behind the price. The current Visio 2021 is priced differently from the older releases, and every option is a perpetual license for one PC. Visio is a Microsoft product and comes as a genuine digital license.
