Upgrade from Visio Standard 2003 to Visio Professional 2003

[keydet1979]

I bought Visio Standard 2003 @ CompUSA and did not realize that there was a
Professional version. Can I buy the Professional 2003 Upgrade version to
upgrade my 2003 Standard product to "Professional" without buying the
complete Professional version? Thanks for your response.

The Professional Upgrade works with previous releases of Visio Professional.
I do not believe there is a Standard-to-Professional upgrade option right
now.

I bought the "Standard" software last year and did not realize that it did
not have all of the features that I utilize with Visio at work.
Unfortunately, CompUSA did not have a copy of the "Professional" version on
the shelf and I did not realize there was two different versions. I will
contact Microsoft directly to inquire about this issue. Thanks for your
response.
