macOS Mojave location

I'm trying to upgrade to Mojave but can't find it anywhere, only catalina is available and that will break some sw that I have. Does anyone have any pointers? Thanks

That link shared directly from the Mac App Store, also works for me: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/macos-mojave/id1398502828?mt=12

Note, you need Mountain Lion through High Sierra to install Mojave. Can't install on it on something newer.

Also if your Mac shipped with Mojave, you'll need to use command-option-shift-r on startup to install it on a separate partition from Catalina.

Please specify you mac model, maybe it is not compatible with Mojave if it is an old model.

Will the link function if you try High Sierra? Get macOS High Sierra

It seems the link from the apple site works for some people but not for others. It may be OS version dependent. Is there anyone using Sierra that can test the link: hthttps://apps.apple.com/us/app/macos-mojave/id1398502828?mt=12.

Thanks

The recovery option looks as though it either install what I have or try to get me to the latest compatible version. If I install Catalina some important sw I have won't work. So I am a little nervous about this option.
