I need to activate my copy of Visio Pro 2013, when I try, an error message pops up saying that the servers are down.  I have a purchase/licensed copy of MS Office 365 installed on the laptop that I am using along with the licensed copy of Office 365, should they be linked or will I have to activate MS Visio separately? How can I activate it?
