Hi everybody, I'm currently running an Air Early2015 with El Cap, and I want to install Final Cut Pro X, thing that seems impossible because it needs High Sierra (10.13.6). I'd prefer not to update my mac, since i only have 4gb of ram and 128ssd. For now I'm using FCPX 10.2.3; and it works pretty fine. Is there a way to buy this particular version of the software? Thanks a lot

It is a little tricky but it can be done. You can’t actually buy an older version. What you do is buy the current version using a newer OS, then when you try to download FCP on a computer running an older OS you’ll be offered to get the most recent that works on that OS.
That would give you 10.3.4 on El Capitan, not 10.2.3.

Yes, it will. You can stop the download if you wish or delete the application after it downloads. The point is to pay for the application; then you can download a version for an older computer. As Luis said, you will not get 10.2.3 as that's not the last version that runs on El Capitan.
Alright, but when i buy it with another mac, won't it start downloading and install on the other? Sorry I'm not familiar with apple, they just gave me one for work.
