The MS office apps and Visio are such a pain. The website does not seem to want us to download anything!

why can't we just simply install the app! The web version doesn't have all the features!!

Basically yu need to have a windows 365 account active. It can be a 1 month trial account. When you have account active you can "install desktop apps". When it has installed to your PC you can then start Visio and when it prompts you choose "I have a product key". Enter the product key you got when you bought Visio 21 and it will work from your PC without have to have an active Office 365. I think this is technically called the Plan2 license.

It is crap that it can't be downloaded, Microsoft is really screwing up everything.
This is silly, it's impossible to install Visio???

Thanks, I guessed that was the case, just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something.

Well RATS! I thought I could get the full/desktop version as well. Guess I'm stuck on the browser version for a little bit longer!
Basically you need to have a windows 365 account active. It can be a 1 month trial account. When you have account active you can "install desktop apps". When it has installed to your PC you can then start Visio and when it prompts you choose "I have a product key". Enter the product key you got when you bought Visio 21 and it will work from your PC without have to have an active Office 365. I think this is technically called the Plan2 license. It is the full Visio desktop version NOT the free web version :) Enjoy :)
