Here are some different options to help you manage this easily:īy default, the KMS client key in the Visio 2010 Single Image SKU is the Visio Premium 2010 key. This section is targeted towards those who are using KMS as the activation method, though you can use the same tools to install the correct MAK key. If you’re planning on deploying a different edition of Visio (other than Premium), or deploying multiple editions of Visio, you will need to install the correct product key based on the edition you want. Support for upgrading and downgrading editions.Ability to change editions without having to reinstall Visio.Only one set of bits to download and mange for multiple editions.Some of the benefits of single image include: Visio 2010’s new single image architecture was designed to make it easier for organizations to manage multiple editions of Visio 2010. If you want to deploy different editions, you need to take additional steps. This means that if you deploy the Visio 2010 Single Image SKU without making any changes, you will be deploying Visio Premium 2010. The Visio 2010 Single Image SKU is prepopulated with a Visio Premium 2010 KMS client key. ( For more info on the three editions, see this previous post).īefore you deploy Visio 2010 to your users, you need to decide which edition(s) of Visio you want to deploy.
There are three different Visio 2010 editions: Standard, Professional, and Premium.
This means that the edition of Visio installed is determined by the key that is used to install it. Visio 2010 comes in one single-image SKU. There’s also a great blog post on the Office Engineering blog that talks about the differences between these methods. MAK is recommended when you have fewer than 50 computers to activate, and for computers that are not regularly connected to the company network.įor more information about those activation methods, see this article on TechNet. With MAK, each computer activates Office 2010 and Visio 2010 with the Microsoft hosted activation servers over the Internet or by phone. If you use a KMS host to activate Office 2010 or Visio 2010, you can use the same host to activate Windows. With a KMS host you can activate thousands of computers at the same time when they regularly connect to the company network. KMS uses a host computer to establish an activation service on your local company network. There are two supported volume activation methods for Visio and Office 2010: Visio 2010 deployment is a little different than Office 2010 deployment, and this article will illustrate all those differences. If you’re an IT administrator managing multiple copies of Visio and Office 2010, this post explains some changes and improvements we’ve made to the deployment experience for Visio 2010.
