Visio 2021 Professional and Standard in comparison
Microsoft offers two versions of Visio 2021: the Standard version and the Professional version. A Windows Visio 2021 Standard licence is completely sufficient for users who want to create basic diagrams - such as organisational charts, schedules or simple business diagrams. The Standard version is therefore often used by individual users and small companies that do not require advanced functions.
A Visio 2021 Professional licence provides access to advanced functions and templates that are also suitable for more complex requirements in large companies and/or specialised areas. With the Microsoft Visio 2021 Professional version, you can visualise complex construction drawings, network diagrams or software architectures, among other things. This version also offers extended data links so that your diagrams can be automatically updated with real-time data; this function is not included in the standard version. You can download Visio Professional 2021 free of charge via ISO download from the Microsoft website, install it locally and activate it with the licence key.
What is the difference between a used Microsoft Visio 2021 licence and buying a new licence?
The biggest difference between a used and a new Visio 2021 licence is the price.
A used Visio 2021 licence is significantly cheaper, but offers the same functions as the considerably more expensive new licence. All used software licences available from Soft & Cloud undergo a TÜVIT-certified transfer process, which ensures that you only purchase legally documented, fully functional and legal licences from us. You can use your used licence without restriction, but only pay a fraction of the new price. Used licences are also often the only way to licence older versions of software that Microsoft no longer offers as new. This is particularly relevant for companies that want to avoid compatibility or acceptance problems with newer versions. In addition to the Visio 2021 licence, you can also find licences for older versions such as Visio 2016 and Visio 2019 at Soft & Cloud.
Visio 2021 Professional download and installation
The direct Visio 2021 Professional download or the Visio Professional 2021 ISO download are available via our download portal. After the download and local installation, you only need to enter the licence key you received from Soft & Cloud to activate the software. The advantage of an ISO download is that you can use the software for multiple installations. This is particularly useful for companies with many workstations.
