Microsoft
Visio is a diagramming and vector graphics application that
helps you create professional diagrams that are linked to
data and updated when data changes.
Visio is part of the Microsoft Office family, but it is
not included in the basic Microsoft/Office 365 packages.
You need to pay an extra fee to use it regularly, but you
can include Visio in your free trial and see if it is useful
to you.
Note: Beginning in May 2023, Microsoft enhanced the trial
offering for Visio by allowing users to sign up for a trial
license, or request for a paid license with their AAD account.
This removed the need for users to input payment information
when initiating a Visio trial.
In
the demo below Peter Kalmström, kalmstrom.com CEO and Systems
Designer, shows how to add Visio Plan 2 to an Office 365
trial. (There is also a Plan 1 that gives Visio Online but
not the desktop application.) The process is the same if
you are already subscribing to Microsoft/Office 365 and
want to try Visio.
Peter shows how to give one user access to Visio via 'Active
users' and how to make Visio show up among the other apps.
