Q: Installing my original Aperture on a new Mac Mini does not work. i have available the serial nor available
Aperture 1 and updates are installed on a MAC Pro: 2 x 2,66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon. Memory 5GB
Software: MAC OS X Lion 10.7.5.
Now I would like to install Aperture on a new Mac Mini: 2,6 GHz Intel Core i5. OS X: El Capitan.
All serial nor are available.
But the Mac Mini does not find software to install, although the disc sits in the player.
Need your help to tackle this issue.
Thanks in advance

Your Aperture 1 installer disk is probably still PowerPC code, that will not run on an El Capitan system.
and when I have the Aperture 3 upgrade. Still impossible??
Apple does no longer sell Aperture at all.
For El Capitan you need Aperture 3.6, as pointed out by TD, and this version has only been available from the Mac AppStore. You cannot buy it outside the AppStore . There is no way to upgrade Aperture any longer.
You can open your Aperture libraries in Photos for Mac on your Mac Mini (see. How Photos handles content and metadata from iPhoto and Aperture - Apple Support), so you can access the photos and export them to other professional applications, like LightRoom or Capture One.
