Hello team,

Attached are the pictures of my visio 2010 installation and I am not able to find Software and database template.

What editions of Visio 2010 has support of software and database?

When I go to change features in install wizard, I do not see Software and database.

    @Maulik Modi

    According to the link "Can't find the database modeling features?", Visio Professional and Premium editions support the reverse engineering features for the Database Model Diagram template, which is included in "Software and Database" template categories.
    So "Software and Database" template categories still exist in Visio Professional and Premium 2010.

    On your computer, maybe there is something wrong with Visio installation that caused the template category could not be available.
    It is recommended that you repair Visio from Control Panel to check this issue.

    As a workaround, I suggest you locate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14\Visio Content\1033, make sure the templates you need are included in this folder 1033, such as Database Model Diagram template ( DBMODL_U.VST or DBMODL_M.VST).
    Then go to File > Options > Advanced > File Locations (Scroll to bottom) > Specify the path above in the “Templates” field.
    Restart Visio, check whether the tempaltes listed on "New" interface.

    86775-diagram.png86783-1033.png86805-advanced-templates.png@Emily Hua-MSFT , Thanks for your response.

    I followed the steps as you suggested, however I am not seeing "Software and Database modelling" under template categories. I expect to see Software and Database modelling as top level template category and several UML or database modelling diagrams as sub categories showing up later on.
