The ordering system forced me to buy a copy of Visio 2007 Standard as 2003 isn't in the catalog any more. To compound this, the only selectable option for Visio was "license only" so I got a valid license key but no physical media or download.

The purchasing department (outsourced to Bangalore) insist they've performed their role as they've supplied a valid license key in response to my order and say it's the support department's problem. The support department say it's Bangalore's problem as they've made me buy software that's not on the approved list. *facedesks*

MS can normally supply media packs but may charge you for them.
It's worth checking anyway.
(Or torrents, not that I condone them for illegal purposes!)
