Can't activate Visio 2013 MSDN

I have an MSDN subscription and I've installed Visio 2013. I am not able to activate the product and it has reduced to a read-only state.

Any attempts to activate or "Switch Account" are met with "Sorry, we are having some temporary server issues." I've found a few posts referencing removing an office-related key from the registry but this has not helped.

At one point I believe I'd also heard that our network might be blocking activation, but don't have a handle on how that would be coming into play exactly (if at all).

Have others encountered and (hopefully) found a fix to this issue?

Is Visio 2013 still supported?

Microsoft announced in 2017 that it would no longer support Office 2013. The end-of-support changes apply to Office 365 Pro Plus, Small Business Premium, Business, Project Pro, and Visio Pro subscriptions. All critical security updates for 2013 products ended April 10, 2018.

How do I activate Visio with a product key?

Step 1: Start an Office app, like Word, Project, or Visio, depending on your purchase. Step 2: In the Sign in to set up Office window, select I don't want to sign in or create an account (it's a small link at the bottom of the window). Step 3: Enter your Office product key, without hyphens.
