Nov 29, 2018 - Let's be straight - you're simply not going to find anything as powerful as Microsoft Visio for free on Mac. If you're a Project Manager or other.

Hi James, Visio Pro for Office 365 is a standalone subscription. You need to purchaes it seperately then add it to Office 365 plan. It allows each user to install Visio on up to five PCs running Windows 7 or Windows 8.

But Visio is not support for Mac, it doesn't work on Macs. If there is anything that I can do for you regarding this issue, feel free to post back. Best regards, Greta Ge TechNet Community Support It's recommended to download and install, which is developed by Microsoft Support teams.

Once the tool is installed, you can run it at any time to scan for hundreds of known issues in Office programs. Office 365 is the name of the marketing program where you lease Microsoft Office instead of purchase. The Office 365 program includes Mac and Windows versions of Office. So yes, you could install Visio Pro Office in a Windows partition and boot directly to Microsoft Windows using Apple's built-in Boot Camp, or you could run Windows and Mac OS simultaneously using a virtual machine in Parallels (or competing VMWare but I prefer Parallels). You can run Office for Mac in Mac OS X - or Office for Windows in Windows under the Office 365 program. I know this thread is a bit old but it's clear there's still a lot of misunderstanding regarding whether you can use Visio with Office 365 on Mac. Since I've been in this situation and resolved it, I thought I would add my 2 cents.

Mac

The simple answer is, without a virtual machine, you cannot run Visio Pro in Office 365 on Mac. Office 365 is tied to the desktop version of Microsoft Visio which isn't available for Mac.

However, if you were to install and run Windows on your Mac in a partition, you could then use Office 365 on a Mac. I tried this workaround though and found it was very laggy and made using the Mac very slow at times. I'm currently trying a few Visio alternatives - there's many suggestions here: some of which can also edit Visio files.

I'd much rather use a native Mac or cloud solution than try to run a virtual environment all the time. Sorry rant over - hope this has helped others!

Used to Work With MS Visio On a PC, But Got a Mac? “Is there any software for drawing diagrams on Mac like Microsoft Visio? And it would be best if it's compatible with MS Visio.” “I use Visio to make Flowcharts, UML Class Diagrams and Data Base Diagrams. Is there any program for Mac that do these tasks?” Such questions are very popular within Macintosh and PC users’ forums and communities. Cant find install from zip on kodi for mac.

We are acquainted with such a software product as MS Visio, which beyond any doubt, is a powerful and multi-functional tool but it has no Macintosh version. This is a great issue, and you’ll be quite pleased to know about ConceptDraw PRO - the perfect MS Visio alternative that runs natively in both platforms: OS X and Windows. Many people use the MS Visio as a business graphic creation program. It is a powerful application with advanced ability to support complex solutions. It's no secret there are no macOS or Linux versions of MS Visio. For years Visio has been using binary VSD format for documents.

To interoperate with Visio another application has to be able to open files in Visio own formats. Before introduction of XML-like office document formats in MS Office 2003, Visio has been using VSD for documents. Since Visio 2003 it's a non-default option to save documents in VDX format.

Latest Visio 2013 introduces a new file format VSDX that has replaced the Visio binary file format VSD and XML file format VDX. The ConceptDraw PRO developers team took up an option to close the gap with interoperability for those who need to share MS Visio documents between users of different operation systems.
