What does Microsoft mean by "install or reinstall Office"?

I have a license key for Visio Standard 2013, and I want to install it on my current computer.

I went to office.com and downloaded a fresh copy of the software. Everything was good up to the screen that says the license key has been added to my account. It says, "sign in to Microsoft account dashboard [link provided] with the account used to redeem it and install or reinstall Office."

I'm using the current version of Office Professional on this computer. The last thing I want to do is "install or reinstall Office" from the 2013 stamdard version! Is that really what the installer is proposing to do? Or is is just proposing to install Visio 2013, but explaining it very badly?
