Description: 

Microsoft Visio Premium helps technical professionals visualise existing ideas, information, and systems, as well as prototype new ones. It contains all the features of Microsoft Visio Professional plus advanced process management tools for analysing, visualising, and improving business processes as well as improving workflow performance.

To simplify process management, complex processes in Microsoft Visio Premium can be broken down into subprocesses. A subprocess is a reusable mini-diagram that resides on its own page but links to a subprocess shape in a larger diagram.

Microsoft Visio Premium includes diagram templates for SharePoint workflows, Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN), and Six Sigma. The software can find common diagramming errors or check for compliance with business rules or other diagramming standards.

Diagram creators can use the SharePoint workflow template to create SharePoint workflows just like any other flowchart in Visio Premium. SharePoint workflows created in Visio Premium can then be imported into SharePoint Designer 2010 for further editing before being executed in SharePoint.

The software features the Fluent user interface, which simplifies navigation by replacing menus and toolbars with a set of task-based tabs known as the Ribbon.

Service Pack 1 includes new and previously released security, performance, and stability updates for Visio 2010.

When used with SharePoint Server 2010, Visio Premium can be used to share dynamic, data-driven diagrams through a web browser as well as publish process documents to a process repository for centralized storage.

Important Volume Licensing Information: With Visio 2010, organizations can choose between two types of volume license keys for product activation: a Key Management Service (KMS) license key or a Multiple Activation Key (MAK). Organizations will be provided with both types of keys on the Microsoft Volume Licensing website.

Microsoft recommends KMS activation only for organizations with at least 50 networked computers requiring activation for Visio 2010 or requiring activation for a combination of Visio 2010, Office 2010, and Project 2010 software. Organizations with fewer than 50 computers requiring activation or organizations with non-networked computers should activate their products using a MAK. Microsoft offers instructions on how to use a MAK or KMS key to activate volume editions of Office 2010 software, which also applies to Visio 2010.

Acquiring the Installation Media and License Key: Installing this product requires installation media and a license key. Installation media will be shipped to you free of charge.

The license allows you to use the installation media to install the product on as many computers as you have received donations for. This quantity is specified in the donation email sent to your organization email address after your eligibility has been verified and your administrative fee has been received. A separate email will give you information about obtaining your license key.
