Visio pre-2013 trial?

Good day!
I have Windows Vista at the moment, so I am unable to install and try Visio 2013. Upgrading Windows at this time is not an option. Is there any way I can obtain an earlier trial version of Visio, the one that works with Vista?
Thank you.

  • Visio Pro 2013 Trial Download Issue

    I downloaded the Visio Pro 2013 trial (posting this here because there's no category for 2013), but cannot get the file to run. From the official Visio page, I clicked "Try", and I was routed to the download page, where it automatically
    downloaded an .img file. I cannot figure out how to open the file. When I click on it, my Nero CD Burner program opens. I've never encountered a problem like this. I'm running Vista Home Premium 64-bit OS and attempted this download via Chrome. Can anyone
    help me figure out how to solve this issue? Thanks!

    Visio trial download is now available as a exe download for simple installation experience. After download, just double click to install.
    Follow the following steps to download the trial version:
    Visit
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/visio/
    Choose Try Now.
    Ensure the details filled up in the form are correct. Now Click Continue. 
    On the screen your trial key will be displayed along with an option to print it. Select print it and save it for future reference.
    Now choose the language of your download and you are good to go.

  • Visio Professional 2013, 64 bit, will not save to directory

    I've been trying to save the Visio Professional 2013 (60 day trail) but am not able to do so irrespective of the directory I try to save it in (file name: VisioProfessional_x64_en-us).  It just keeps sending me back to "retry" and "cancel"
    and doesn't allow me an opportunity to run it.  In looking at the threads here, it seems like I would have to change to a 32 bit system to get this to work.  Why then does the site ask if I have a 32 or 64 bit system.  Not a good way to start
    a trail.  Thanks, any help would be appreciated...WCG.

  • Visio Pro 2013 - 60 Day Trial Activation won't work

    Hi,
    I just downloaded the Visio Pro 2013 60 day trial, however when I put in my email address and password correctly it comes up with this error.
    "The account email address here isn't associated with this Office product.  To activate this install, please sign in with the account associated with your product
    Please help within the next 2-3 days otherwise I think it resets.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Have you installed Office 2013 trial version before? If you have, you might receive the error messages. Even if you uninstall the  trial version successfully, its product key and other license details still reside in your Windows which cause
    a license mismatch problem and Visio 2013 shows this error message and doesn't activate itself.
    We could activate it manually. Please try the following methods:
    Method One:
    Go to TechNet Evaluation center
    >Sign in with your live account> Get the Visio Pro 2013 Product Key>
    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.
    Method Two:
    If the above mentioned method doesn't work for you, please try to use Microsoft Visio Support Diagnostic to collect the detailed information and then do further troubleshoot:

  • Downloading the Visio 2013 trial

    I have been trying to download the Visio 2013 trial.  On Mozilla browser it gets to 43% and then the page automatically closes.  It has done this about 5 times thus far. One would think Microsoft would make it easy to try such an expensive software
    so that people will buy it.  But rather, they make it impossible to download.

  • Visio 2013 Trial Won't Install

    I was able to burn the software to a disk with no problems. When I attempt to install, I get an error message "Error 25004. The product key you entered cannot be used on this machine. This is most likely due to previous Office 2013 trials being installed.
    System error: -1073422314."  The install process never asked me to enter a product key. I am running 32bit and downloaded the 32 bit version. I am also running Office 2010, except Outlook is the 2007 version. Thanks for any suggestions.

    Hi,
    The message “25004” could indicate problems with the trial product key, I think MicroSoft thinks it's been used on this machine, so lets go back and start over again.
    Please try to do following steps:   
    • Get a new trial product key, may need to create a dummy email id to get it.
    • Uninstall current trial, use FIX IT from KB290301 and confirm with manual process confirmation msl
    • reboot into safe mode (with networking)
    • clean TEMP folder
    • install new trial (in safe mode)  (I don’t know how they did this since in Vista I get message Installer service cannot be starter

    Thanks

    Hi,
    Which Office 365 Home Premium editions did you install? 32bit or 64bit? Office 2013 doesn’t support running side-by-side installations of 64-bit and 32-bit versions of Office. For example, you can’t install Office 2010 32-bit side-by-side with Visio
    2013 64-bit. This applies to both Windows Installer (MSI) and Click-to-Run installations of Office 2013. If you try to do this, you'll receive the error message and be prevented from continuing:

    To resolve your issue you can install Office 365 Home Premium 64 bit + Visio Professional 2013 64 bit version.

    You can follow any of these steps:-

  • Free download Visio Professional 2013

    I've tried to download the free trial version of Visio Professional 2013 from the office.microsoft.com website twice now and everything goes fine, filling in the forms, the download. Once the download is completed I get a Nero program. Please advise -thank
    you.

    Hi,
    The trial of Visio 2013 is available to be downloaded in .img format. Before you install Visio, confirm the version of Windows you are using. If you are using Windows 8, then Windows 8 will automatically install Visio using the .img file.  If you are
    using a different operating system, a few additional steps are required before starting to install Visio. Here are some options:
    Mount the image as an ISO virtual drive. There are popular tools such as
    Virtual Magic Disk to mount ISO/IMG disk image file as virtual CD-ROM drive and then install from the ISO file.
    Extract .img. You can extract the .img into a directory using any tools that unzip the .img format (e.g.,
    7-zip) and then install from it.
    Create a disc. Write the .img onto a CD and then install Visio from the CD.

  • 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,
