Visio Standard 2016 — 5 User License
Need to create flowcharts, org charts, process diagrams, or network maps? Visio Standard 2016 is the go-to diagramming tool, and this listing covers 5 users — each receiving their own retail key. It’s a one-time purchase with no subscription, and the license is permanent.
What You Can Build With Visio Standard 2016
The Standard edition covers the diagramming needs of most teams without the advanced data connectivity features of Professional:
- Flowcharts & process diagrams — document business processes, approval workflows, and decision trees
- Org charts — visualise your company structure, including imports from Excel or Exchange directory data
- Network diagrams — basic logical and physical network topology maps
- Floor plans & space planning — office layouts, seating arrangements
- Value stream maps — lean manufacturing process visualisation
- 50+ built-in templates — start from a ready-made layout rather than a blank page
Standard vs Professional
Standard is excellent for standalone diagramming. Professional adds live data connectivity — linking shapes to data sources like SharePoint lists, Excel tables, or databases so your diagrams update automatically. If that’s not something you need, Standard does the job well.
System Requirements
- Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8.1, or Windows 10 (32 or 64-bit)
- 1 GHz processor, 1 GB RAM (2 GB recommended)
- 3 GB available disk space
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I open Visio 2016 files in older versions?
Visio 2016 uses the .vsdx format (introduced in Visio 2013). Files can be saved back to .vsd format for compatibility with Visio 2010 and earlier.
Is Visio Standard 2016 still supported?
Extended support runs until October 14, 2025. You’ll continue to receive security updates until then.
Does this include Visio Viewer?
Visio Viewer is a free download from Microsoft that lets anyone view .vsdx files without a full Visio license. It’s separate from this product — this is the full authoring application.
