Nobody can help?
So here is a supplement. This issue is caused by the installation of Office 365 on my computer. It's impossible to install MS Visio 2013 with the offline installation (img file). There is a conflict between versions. So I tried to install MS Visio 2013 with Clik-to-run according to https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployoffice/install-different-office-visio-and-project-versions-on-the-same-computer.

The installation starts without any other messages or windows. After a couple of minutes, I can find the MS Visio Pro 2013 on my computer. When I start the Visio it showed up it is MS Visio 2013 Professional. But the stencils are from the standard version. Eg lack of BPMN 2.0.

I also noticed that my license key available on my Office account is different than my original license key. Why did it change?

What I really feel right now? Cheated by Microsoft. I paid for the Pro version and after a couple of years, I'm downgraded to the standard content of Visio. Why? Does MS want more money from me?
