Upgrade for Visio Technical (older)
Unfortunately, Visio 5 (pre Microsoft) no longer qualifies for an upgrade.
Only the versions released by Microsoft (2000 and later) qualifiy. You could try and buy an older version that still qualifies for an upgrade from a 3rd party, then use that for the upgrade. Make sure that you get an honest copy. John...

Standard or Professional?
In the beginning there was one version.
Then Home was added. that has now collapsed back to Visio Then we went for a three way split Standard, Technical and Professional. Technical and Professional used the same program, but each added extra, but different add-ins and stencils. You needed to install Both Pro and Tech to get the works. After Visio acquired Microsoft, they decided to slim back and Visio Technical was dropped. The extra content that made Visio Technical Visio Technical was added to Visio Professional. So now we have two versions Visio Standard and Visio Professional. The one you will want will be Visio Professional. John...
