Default Free upgrade to Visio 2013 with Office 365 is not free?

We recently switched to Office 365. When we install Office 2016 the official word is that Visio 2013 and Project 2013 get uninstalled, Well, sometimes and sometimes not. I have two users who had Visio 2013 installed. It was uninstalled from one and not from the other, and it is still working on the latter.

According to Error: Stop, you should wait to install Office 2016. We’ll have to remove the following if you continue we should be eligible for a free upgrade. I went to the Answer desk link in that article and worked my way down to a request for the product ID. I don't have the ID for the uninstalled version handy, so I entered the Product ID from the one that's still working. I was informed that:

The product ID number you entered is not eligible for online support. Enter another product ID Number or select a different support option.
So what's the real story?
