need to install mojave on 2013 iMac/ what's wrong with the installer from apple?

late 2013 iMac/ runs high sierra fine; I have other macs with catalina but this one, for various tech and software purposes and alerts, have to go to mojave. Following instructions from apple web site for order systems, I find the link to download mojave but then get the message "This copy of the Install macOS Mojave application is damaged, and can‘t be used to install macOS.". Not from a bogus site, but from apple.


Sounds like Apple doesn't want people to go with older systems, but no choice here. Anyone know where I can find a working link for downloading mojave?

The installer you have downloaded is old. The certificate it was signed with is no longer valid.


Delete the installer, reboot your Mac, then re-download it and install.


Depending on when the installer on your other Mac was downloaded, it's likely to have the same problem.
