Hi

I thinking of upgrade from Visio2013std to Pro to be able to use dynamic data.

My goal is to create a webpage that can show some live data (updated every 10 minutes), but do I need a second license for that or is there some sort of distributables?

Thanks

If you want to upgrade Visio 2013 standard to Visio 2013 Professional, you can try to do following steps:

 1. Check that you have all the correct system/product requirements in place. Visio Professional 2013
 2. Purchase the latest version of the product using the Upgrade button/links above.
 3. Download the product or wait for postal delivery if you selected the disk version.
 4. Read any installation notes that come with the program.
 5. Back up any data that could be lost or corrupted during the install.
 6. Close any programs running on your computer.
 7. Install the new version.
 8. A computer re-start may be required.

The article applies to Office 2010, but we can refer to it.

Second, you want to the cost about upgrading.

You can go to Microsoft store to ask for the price.

Thanks, but my question was not about how to upgrade, but do I need a second license if I want to run a webpage created in Visio with dynamic data.

Yes you do. Note: Visio Professional has a perpetual licenseonce activated, the software will not expire.

Visio Professional 2013

Okay thanks. I don't think the MSDN license allows me to do this. It's for a webpage that can show status of our servers and services.

Hi Kim Carlsen,

I recommend you connect the Microsoft Customer Service Center  http://support.microsoft.com/gp/customer-service-phone-numbers/en-us and use the artificial service. They'll help you with the upgrade issue.
