Microsoft Visio Professional 2024 MAK - 500 Users

Overview

# Microsoft Visio Professional 2024 MAK - 500 Users: Controlled Volume Licensing for Windows Microsoft Visio Professional 2024 MAK - 500 Users is for business buyers who need Visio Professional 2024 for 500 users without turning the purchase into a vague software-key gamble. The price is EUR 399.00, with digital delivery and a clear license position. This is not Microsoft 365, not a cloud service bundle, not a trial, not a KMS host, and not a promise of unlimited transfer rights. It is a practical product for organisations that need the application scope, activation method, and procurement record understood before checkout. The buyer for this SKU is usually not shopping for another generic Office listing. They need to know who receives the activation material, which users or devices are in scope, how many activations are expected, where the invoice is stored, and who approves reinstall requests later. Retail, OEM, MAK, KMS, LTSC, and subscription wording are often mixed together in software listings even though they create different expectations. This page separates those ideas so the product can be judged on fit rather than on a headline discount. ## What you get This SKU covers Microsoft Visio Professional 2024 for 500 users. It is app-specific unless the delivered documentation explicitly says otherwise. It does not include Word, Excel, Outlook, Exchange hosting, OneDrive storage, SharePoint, Teams meetings, Defender, Intune, Purview, Entra ID, Microsoft 365 Copilot, tenant administration, or cloud storage. If the same users need several Microsoft applications, a full Office suite or Microsoft 365 plan may be a cleaner procurement choice. In daily work, Visio supports flowcharts, organisation charts, network diagrams, process maps, floor plans, UML or BPMN documentation, and governed visual files. The standalone route makes sense when the organisation knows this exact application is the requirement. A process team may need Visio because slide shapes are not enough for governed diagrams. A PMO may need Project because a spreadsheet cannot safely carry dependencies, calendars, and baseline reporting. A procurement team should therefore buy the app that matches the workflow, not the nearest familiar Microsoft name. Professional is the data-aware Visio tier. It suits IT, engineering, facilities, operations, process owners, and consultants who need data-linked shapes, advanced templates, richer technical stencils, validation workflows, AutoCAD-oriented scenarios in newer versions, and documentation that must survive review by people outside the authoring team. This listing is positioned as MAK volume activation for a 500-user scope. A Multiple Activation Key is different from KMS hosting, different from a consumer retail binding key, and different from a Microsoft 365 tenant subscription. The buyer should control who receives the activation material, how activations are consumed, where the deployment list is stored, and who approves reinstall requests. Do not treat a 500-user MAK product as unlimited use, cloud service access, Software Assurance, or a promise of unsupported transfer rights. ## What's new and what matters in this version Visio Professional 2024 is part of the current perpetual desktop generation. It keeps a fixed Windows application baseline, aligns visually with the Office 2024 family, and avoids monthly subscription feature movement. For Visio buyers, the practical value is a modern diagramming desktop with current templates, stencils, accessibility work, and fixed-release deployment. For Project buyers, the value is the familiar scheduling engine, current interface, and a supportable baseline for PMO files without moving to a cloud subscription. The practical buying question is not whether a newer SKU exists. It is whether this SKU matches the documents, add-ins, operating systems, budget rules, activation workflow, and support expectations already in front of you. Choose the exact version when it fits the validated estate. Choose Visio Plan 2 when the organisation wants a longer support runway or subscription-managed capabilities. Choose Visio Professional 2021 only when that generation is the tested standard or when price and compatibility matter more than newer features. For controlled buyers, stability has economic value. Helpdesk scripts, deployment packages, screenshots, template libraries, macro policies, file locations, and user training all become easier when the application version is fixed. That is why perpetual Microsoft desktop products remain common in clinics, workshops, schools, accounting offices, public-sector teams, repair benches, labs, construction offices, and service companies where productivity software is infrastructure rather than an experiment. ## System requirements | Component | Requirement | | --- | --- | | Operating system | Windows 10 or Windows 11 | | Processor | 1.6 GHz or faster, 2-core processor | | Memory | 4 GB RAM recommended | | Storage | 4 GB available disk space | | Display | 1280 x 768 or higher recommended | | Internet | Required for download, activation, and update checks where available | | Included app or activation scope | Microsoft Visio Professional 2024 for 500 users | | License model | MAK volume activation; no Microsoft 365 subscription included | ## Comparison table | Option | Payment model | What it covers | Best fit | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Microsoft Visio Professional 2024 MAK - 500 Users | One-time MAK-style volume license | Visio Professional 2024 for 500 users | Controlled 500-user Windows deployment where this exact app is required | | Visio Professional 2021 | One-time purchase | Nearby older or estate-standard desktop generation | Buyers standardising on older templates, images, or file workflows | | Visio Plan 2 | Subscription or higher tier depending on product | Newer feature set, longer runway, or cloud-managed rights | Buyers who need current support, cloud administration, or newer capabilities | | Microsoft 365 or suite licensing | Subscription or broader suite purchase | Multiple apps plus plan-dependent services | Better when the same users need several apps, cloud services, or central admin controls | ## Activation and licensing This product should be bought for the license position stated on the order, not for assumptions imported from another channel. It is positioned as MAK volume activation for a defined 500-user scope. It should not be treated as a tenant-wide subscription, a KMS host, an OEM preinstall, an unlimited-device entitlement, or a cloud service package. Read the supplied instructions before installing on production machines. Track the activation owner, target user group or device, deployment date, key custody, and reinstall policy. Do not assume downgrade rights, Software Assurance, language-pack rights, transfer rights, or cloud services unless those rights are explicitly included in the delivered documentation. A product may technically activate in a certain way, but the business should still deploy only within the purchased scope and supplied license position. Compliance-sensitive buyers should keep the invoice, activation instructions, deployment list, support records, and internal approval trail together. That record helps during audits, hardware refreshes, endpoint rebuilds, procurement reviews, accounting checks, and support escalations. It also prevents confusion when retail keys, older releases, Microsoft 365 subscriptions, and volume-style products exist in the same organisation. ## Installation guide 1. Complete checkout and keep the order record. 2. Read the activation instructions before redeeming or distributing the key. 3. Confirm the target Windows version, language needs, architecture, and add-in requirements. 4. Remove conflicting Office, Visio, trial, or preview installations where required by the deployment plan. 5. Download the app or deployment material from the supplied Microsoft-compatible route. 6. Install Microsoft Visio Professional 2024 according to the activation model. 7. Open the app and confirm that it reports the expected activation state. 8. Install available security and stability updates for the product generation. 9. Store the activation record, invoice, deployment note, and support correspondence securely. ## Why buy here The software-key market is noisy. Listings often mix retail, bind, OEM, MAK, KMS, LTSC, account, and subscription language as if those terms were interchangeable. They are not. This page states the application, version, edition, scope, and activation model plainly so a business buyer can decide whether the product fits before checkout. The sale price is set against current Microsoft RRP evidence, exact or nearby reseller signals, and supplier cost. The compare-at value uses a real Microsoft or conservative retail anchor rather than an invented discount. The lowest 30-day price for this catalogue baseline is the current sale price, which keeps Omnibus pricing simple and auditable. Wholesale is calculated from the sale price, not from an inflated reference price. The main advantage is procurement clarity. Buying scattered single-app keys creates fragmented invoices, inconsistent activation flows, and weak control. A documented product record is easier to manage when a business needs one specialist Microsoft app on known Windows desktops. It also keeps the user experience stable because the desktop release is fixed rather than changing every month. There is still responsibility on the buyer side. The organisation should know who receives the activation material, how many users or devices are expected, where the deployment record lives, and how support requests are approved. If that sounds excessive for the use case, choose a smaller retail product, a broader Office suite, or Microsoft 365 instead. Compatibility checks should happen before rollout. Older add-ins, templates, document-management integrations, Outlook profiles, ODBC links, stencil libraries, project calendars, security policies, and file associations can behave differently across generations. A short pilot on representative machines is cheaper than troubleshooting a department-wide issue after the fact. Security teams should treat installers, activation material, and deployment instructions as controlled assets. Store them in an administrative location, avoid sharing keys through open chat channels, remove temporary copies after deployment, and keep recovery notes where authorised staff can find them later. The final buying check is edition discipline. Do not buy Microsoft Visio Professional 2024 MAK - 500 Users just because it is the nearest familiar Microsoft name. Buy it because the work actually requires this application, this version family, and this license model. If the user only needs to view files, a viewer workflow or another licensed colleague may be enough. If the user needs to create and maintain source files every week, a properly documented desktop license is easier to defend. ## Volume options This is the 500-user MAK option. Choose it when the deployment list is real enough to justify a controlled activation package, but the organisation does not need a broader Office suite, Microsoft 365 Apps, or a subscription plan. The value is procurement clarity: one product record, one activation model, one deployment owner, and one invoice trail for a defined group of Windows users. Do not choose a 500-user MAK product just because the unit price looks attractive. Choose it when IT or procurement can manage key custody, activation count, machine or user assignment, reinstall approvals, and support notes. For a handful of seats, a smaller retail-style license is easier. For a mixed team that needs Word, Excel, Outlook, and Visio together, a suite product may be cleaner. For cloud administration, user sign-in licensing, mobile rights, or continuous updates, Microsoft 365 or a subscription plan should be compared before checkout. ## FAQ ### Is Microsoft Visio Professional 2024 MAK - 500 Users a subscription?

It does not include Microsoft 365 services, recurring feature updates, cloud storage, Teams, or Copilot. ### Is this OEM, retail, MAK, KMS, or LTSC licensing? This listing is for MAK volume activation. It should not be treated as OEM preinstall media, a small retail binding key, a KMS host, or a subscription tenant entitlement. ### What app is included? This SKU covers Microsoft Visio Professional 2024. It does not include the full Office suite unless the delivered documentation explicitly says otherwise. ### Can I use it on macOS? No. This product is planned around Windows deployment.

Choose a smaller app license for a small user count, a full Office suite when the same users need several apps, or Microsoft 365 when cloud services and user sign-in licensing are required. ### What should I check before buying? Check Windows compatibility, activation method, user or device scope, internal deployment owner, add-in compatibility, template or file-format requirements, and procurement records. ### How should deployment be documented? Keep the invoice, activation instructions, deployment list, activation count where applicable, administrator owner, and support records together. ## Related products - [Microsoft Visio Professional 2024](/products/microsoft-visio-2024-professional) - [Microsoft Visio Standard 2024](/products/microsoft-visio-standard-2024) - [Microsoft Project Professional 2024](/products/microsoft-project-2024-professional) - [Microsoft Project Standard 2024](/products/microsoft-project-standard-2024) - [Microsoft Office 2024 Professional Plus](/products/microsoft-office-2024-professional-plus)
