Visio 2013 Activation

I bought Visio 2013 Professional from our company account. We also have 2 Project 2013 Standard Licenses on the same. When I navigate to my products in my account and try to download Visio 2013 on the desired
computer, the hyperlink redirects me to download / installation of Project (which has already been downloaded and the license is in use on another company computer).
I even tried downloading a trial version and then activating the trail but it doesn't seem to work. The error message I get when trying to do this is "The products we found in your account can't be used to activate Visio." It for some reason thinks
I do not own the product, which my account displays my product with a license key but the hyperlink doesn't allow me to download or install it because it redirects me to Project installation page.
Calling Microsoft Tech Support was the worst experience I have ever had. I was on call for over 2 hours being transferred from one department to another being told that it was "out of scope" for the person I was talking to, and then id eventually
get transferred back to the main menu. 
We have spend SO much money on this product and cannot even use it. This is ridiculous! Also, talking about after sales customer service....i dont think it even exists.
I'd really appreciate help in resolving this issue ASAP. Its been two weeks and this is my last resort to get this sorted out so that we can finally use the product we paid so much money for. 

Hi,
I have definitely heard your frustration, and we're thinking about ways to troubleshoot this issue.
Would you like to share us your download page and link?  And, please try this link to download:

Then, based on the error message, please the 2 workaround.
1. Don't activate the product using your account credentials. Just enter your product key manually to activate Office 2013 copy.
Open Control Panel and click on Programs and Features icon >Right Click on Microsoft Visio
 >Enter a Product Key > Type your 25-characters product key and click on Continue button.
2. Use Phone activate

  • VIsio 2013 Activation Issue

    Visio 2013 installed correctly, however when I try to activate all I get is the "Sorry we are having some  temporary server issues" Try again later. This has been going on for two days does anyone know how to fix this issue?

    Hi,
    Please try the following method:
    In the registry editor (regedit.exe), you find HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\Internet\WebServiceCache\AllUsers\office15client.microsoft.com
    Delete all the subfolders of the ...\office15client.microsoft.com folder.
    This should immediately fix the problem.
    Note Please back up your registry before you modify.

  • Visio Standard 2013 Activation

    I have downloaded and installed the trial for Visio 2013 Standard (32 bit) on my new computer.  I'm ready to convert the trial license to the full license.  I chooses Account->Convert to Full->Enter Key and i enter a key.  I get the
    green check mark indicating the key is valid.  It asks for administrator privileges to make changes to this computer, and i select yes. 
    The activation seems to work.  I get no message indicating success or failure.
    The issue is that Visio Standard 2013 still says it's the trial version and says it will expire in "X" days.
    I've tried all the typical troubleshooting tactics like uninstalling/reinstalling, rebooting, etc...  No change.
    The option for "phone activation" isn't available from the application and i went through the dialogue the MS support web site looking for it, but never found a number. 
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hi G.Gross-Gross,
    You’d better contact your local customer service center, it’s the quickest way to activate Visio 2013.
    You can find
    your local custom support number on the link below.

  • Can not activate Visio 2013 Pro 60 day Trial

    Hi
    I am trying to activate a trial version of Visio 2013 Pro I downloaded from
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/evalcenter/hh973399.aspx but I keep getting the error message show below. The clock on my laptop is correct and I have all the latest Microsoft updates. The activation key I was given before downloading the software
    ends in "Y2".
    I hope you can help
    CESkyBlue

    Hi,
    This issue occurs because the trial version can only be installed on one computer. If you have installed it on an other machine, you can't install it on this machine then.
    To work around this issue, you should use another Microsoft Account for this installation.

  • Visio 2013 and Office 2010 Professional Plus

    I am using KMS.  Both Office 2010 and Office 2013 keys are installed on the KMS server.  On a Windows 7 system, Office 2010 Professional Plus in installed and activated.  Visio 2013 Professional is also installed, but it is not activated. 
    I see hits in the event log for activation requests, furthermore slmgr.vs /dlv all shows a 4 count for Office 15, KMSHostVL edition.  This is probably correct, we haven't deployed Office 2013 or many Visio 2013 apps.  The problem is every time I
    open Access 2010, the Office installer runs.  This does not happen for Word, Excel or Outlook.  Does anyone know how to fix this problem or how to troubleshoot it? 
    I tried running the VA client diagnostic tool, but it said Office was activated.  I am sure in looked at my 2010 Pro and not the 2013 Visio.
    Thanks

    when you have a combination of Office products installed upon a single machine, (even sometimes with a single product installed), the Office applications can sometimes suffer a repair/re-registration sequence upon application launch.
    This can happen in non-KMS scenarios, and, is usually caused by missing registry keys or a damaged installation.
    It can also be caused by updating/patching one of the Office products, since updating/patching will sometimes cause the registry entries to be re-written, which can "toggle" the registered default application.
    This is one of several reasons why MS recommend against having multiple versions of Office installed upon a machine.
    Try a repair of Office2010, to see if that will correct the registration of Access2010. If successful, then check Visio2013 is still launching ok. Then check Access one more time (to see if launching Visio has disrupted Access again).

  • Thinapp Visio 2013 / Project 2013

    Hello,
    Have somebody already expeariences with thinapping Visio 2013 and Project 2013 with Office 2013 nativly installed?
    I tried it but im getting an error message during startup of the packet application.
    Thanks a lot for your help.
    Regards

    Hi Apollo777
    Ive sorted my issues with the thin app and generating licence issues. It was due to a mismatch in file versions in the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\OfficeSoftwareProtectionPlatform folder on the base image and equivilent in the thinapps(Visio and project were newer).
    To capture visio/project I used a Win 7 64 Bit VM without office installed.
    I  copied the media to the vm added my KMS details as per dankwax instructions and then did the pre scan.
    I installed the app and then opened the registry.
    I then found the below key and set it to 10 as the errors I was originally getting in my VDI Event log pointed to this when googled
    The Office Software Protection Platform service also known as OSPPSVC.EXE is generally started on demand when a user has started Office and does not automatically shut down the service by default. You can set the following registry key and apply a timeout to solve that issue:
    Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\OfficeSoftwareProtectionPlatform
    ValueName: InactivityShutdownDelay
    ValueType: DWORD
    ValueData: The number in seconds, that the Office Software Protection Platform will stay running for, after the most recent activity. The windows default for this is 300 seconds.
    After setting this key, simply restart the Office Software Protection Platform Service to use the new settings.
    Once the key was entered I opened the app and made sure it was licenced.
    I then did the post scan and build. Once complete
    I then started up my Base image and went to the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\OfficeSoftwareProtectionPlatform folder
    I then went into %ProgramFilesDir(x64)%\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\OfficeSoftwareProtectionPlatform in my Project 2013 build folder and found these files are newer then the ones on the base image.
    I copied the newer files to the base image and also checked visio so all files were the same.
    I shut down my base image and snapshotted it
    I then recomposed my pool using the new base image and the licencing issue disappeared!

  • SharePoint Designer 2010 and Visio 2013 Issues

    I currently have Visio 2013 and SharePoint Designer 2010 installed.  I have two problems that I'm experiencing and any help would be greatly appreciated.
    1. I'm able to export an already manually created workflow from SharePoint Designer 2010 as a .vwi file without a problem and am able to import the file into Visio Pro 2013.  I
    was also able to export the file from Visio once changes were made.  However, when I go to import the file into SharePoint Designer I receive a message stating "This workflow cannot be imported because it was created in SharePoint Designer for a
    different site, or the original workflow has been moved or deleted.  To move a workflow between sites, use Save as Template (.wsp file) instead of Visio workflow drawing."  I cannot figure out how to save it in the format the prompt is suggesting
    as this is not available from the list of Save As options from Visio and when exporting from Visio the only format to do so is as a Visio Workflow Interchange (.vwi file).  When exporting from SharePoint Designer I’m only able to export as a .vwi file
    and the Save As option is not available in SharePoint Designer.  Additionally, the file location where I exported from SharePoint and importing back into SharePoint is not changing, nor is the file name. 
    2. If I create a workflow from scratch within Visio utilizing the SharePoint 2010 shapes, I'm about to export without a problem and save as a .vwi file.  I'm also able to import this workflow into SharePoint Designer, but the problem is the workflow
    never actually shows up and I do not receive any errors.
    Any help on either or both of these issues would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Eric

    Use Visio 2010. You may be running into a compatibility issue between Visio 2013 and Designer 2010.

  • Sharepoint Designer 2010 and Visio 2013

    I am testing out Visio Professional 2013. I can import a VWI file from Sharepoint Designer 2010 and I can export a VWI file from Visio. But when I try to import the VWI file created in Visio 2013 into sharpoint Designer 2010 it appears to work, as
    I don't get an error, but the work flow never appears.  Any thoughts?

    Hi,
    Based on my research, if it is SharePoint Designer 2010, then the only edition that supports SharePoint workflows is Visio 2010 Premium edition.
    And if you use Visio 2013, then it need to use SharePoint Designer 2013.

  • Sharepoint 2013 Active Directory Import- Manager field not updating

    Hi,
      SharePoint 2013 Active directory import  -Manager field not updating
    Concern/Issue-
     We are using SharePoint and configured the Active Directory Import .First import it seems everything is working fine and OOB Organization chart  built using User profile data is coming out right.
    Now the user is moved from one Organization Unit to Another.
    Now our Manager field is not Updating .There is change in AD manager attribute but not reflecting in the SharePoint User profile.
    Manger field is mapped to "manager" attribute in SharePoint.
    We tried removing the user and Re-Import using Incremental import but no luck.
    Thanks for help in advance
    Sachin

    Moving a user from one OU to another in AD won't normally change the Manager attribute in AD.  You would need to edit the user's organization settings to change the manager value in AD.  I've also seen these changes not be picked up unless something
    other than just the manager field in AD changing.  Try changing something like Office location and see if the manager change is picked up by AD Import.

  • How to get mouse over shape to display data in Visio 2013?

    Hi Visio pros,
    I am required to create a diagram of our servers rack setup and will be publishing to a Web page using Visio 2013.
    The goal is to mouse over the server shape and have the data be displayed. I have followed arguably every solution on the internet. I am either doing it wrong, or it might be outdated information.
    I'm hoping Paul Herber, or other Visio pros would be able to help me with this situation as I am on a tight schedule and have exhausted my resources.
    Things I have tried:
    user.visEquivTitle in ShapeSheet
    http://visualsignals.typepad.co.uk/vislog/2012/02/no-mouseover-with-visequivtitle.html
    and
    prop.(data name) in the comments within the miscellaneous section of the ShapeSheet.

    Hi Sir!
    I am open to the possibility that I may have done something wrong as I am very new to Visio.
    Here are the steps I followed:
    http://visio.mvps.org/ShapeSheet/
    Browser that I am using is Internet Explorer since I ran into problems with Google Chrome.
    However, after more reading I noticed the User.visEquivTitle provides a tooltip. If it is what I think it is, which is a small yellow box displaying a string, my employer would not want that.
    We're looking for something that will provide an aesthetic display of data after mouse over onto the shape.
    Thank you very much for your help.

  • App-V 5.0: Adding Visio 2013 and Project 2013 to a previously deployed virtual Office 2013

    Good morning.
    I can successfully deploy Office 2013 via PowerShell and App-V v5.0 without difficulty.  I've read the document at
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2915745/en-us and followed all instructions successfully.
    My question is this:  If Office 2013 without Visio 2013 or Project 2013 is virtually deployed, how can those components be added later?
    For instance, we may have 100 users that acquire a virtualized Office 2013 without Project or Visio.  We then may have 25 users that require a virtualized Office and Visio without Project and, perhaps, another 15 that require Office and Project without
    Visio.
    Currently, when I attempt a second virtual deployment of one of these components, it removes Office 2013 making it inaccessible.
    How can Project and/or Visio be deployed to an already existing virtually deployed Office 2013?
    Thanks very much.

    As a part of MDOP, you'll also have access to UE-V which will provide a mechanism of moving user preferences across the same applications from difference packages.
    It will require planning, configuration and deployment, but will ensure you don't face the same issue in the future.

    The Acrobat Addin is not visible in Visio 2013. The goal is to use the Addin to generate high quality PDFs. I already tried the following:
    Reinstalling Visio 2013
    Reinstalling Acrobat 11 with the full-installation option
    Checking the registry for the load behavour of the plugin > Visio does not have an option for Addin load behaviour, since HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Visio is not existent. There is no option for the load behaviour in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Visio, the only folder that exists with the name 'Visio'.
    Adding the Addin manually within Visio > the Addin does not get added, if the file C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\PDFMaker\Office\PDFMOfficeAddin.dll is selected. Visio does not show any reaction.

  • Org Chart Shapes are no longer recognized as org chart shapes by Visio 2013

    I created an org chart in Visio 2013 by importing data from Excel.  It generated the org chart properly.  I then began cleaning up (i.e. Best Fit to Page, changing layouts on pages, changing size & spacing) as need to be visually more
    appealing.  After cleaning up many pages, Visio no longer recognized the shapes on the page as org chart shapes.  This now causes the 'Best Fit to Page' feature to display a msg stating "Add organization chart shapes to your drawing, and
    try again."  It also causes the 'position' (employee) shapes under a 'manager' shape to no longer move with the manager shape when the manager is repositioned.  This is now true for all shapes on all pages in my org chart.  Can the
    shapes be fixed to go back to being recognized as org chart shapes?

    Hi，
    If you want to show the pictures in the Organization chart， we need to add the photo the display
    fields. Please try to do the following steps:
    Create a new Organization chart> Organization Chart Wizard choose information that's already stored in a file or database> Choose A microsft Exchange Server directory> Select Photo and add to display fields> Choose the information which you want
    to show> I want to specify how much of my Organization to display on each page > Choose the team
