Where can I download older version than 10.6 - I am using Mojave

Alright, so I just rebooted into Mojave.

Opened the App Store.

Clicked on my account name in the bottom left-hand corner.

Among others, there's my Logic Pro purchase, not installed.

Clicked on the "cloud" symbol:

"Download an older version of Logic Pro?

The current version requires OS X 10.15 or later, but you can download the last compatible version."

Clicked "Download".

Downloading as I'm typing this.

Voilà.

Apple makes only the most recent Logic version available on the App store to "convince" you to run the latest macOS.

Unless you have a friend who has an older Logic version, I would call Apple Care‭(800) 275-2273‬ to see if they can provide a link.

Version 10.5.1, just installed on Mojave (3:17AM CET; need to get some sleep…):

(For the record, for the past 10 years I've been happily working with Logic Pro 9, and apart from a few quirks it still runs great on El Capitan, along with my "officially unsupported" audio interfaces. I only bought Logic 10 just yesterday, realizing that this is likely the last version that I will be able to buy on this Macbook, as it doesn't support Big Sur anymore. Also, just earlier today Ihave installed Logic 10.3.3 on my "antique" MacBook Pro 2008. Seems to run fine as well so far.)

Open the App Store and go to the section called something like "Purchased". (I'm currently on El Capitan; the App Store on Mojave looks differently.)

You should see your previously purchased Logic Pro listed there.

Click to install, and you will be asked if you want to install the latest compatible version for your current OS.

Lukas, I am very happy to read your post.

I've seen a couple of people (meaning I've been there in the room) where 'last compatible version' just would not show at all, which is silly!!

So I'm glad to see it is there/back, or whatever. I stand corrected and happily so. Will need to try this tomorrow on a couple of OS builds I have.

May I ask what country you're in?

It might have been an App Store error.

Possibly related observation:

While I was checking the App Store now, I also had two apps in the "Updates" tab. Clicking on the Update button resulted in an error. After clicking on the apps' names and opening their full App Store page, clicking the "Update" button from there has worked and the apps were updated.

Nope, that's not how it works.

Switzerland.

Do you think it makes a difference?

For what it's worth, on High Sierra I was able to download v10.4.8, on Sierra v10.4.4. No luck on Mountain Lion so far, even though it appears in my Purchased tab.
