Broken download link for Mojave 10.14 in Mac App Store

I wish to upgrade High Sierra to Mojave on a late 2012 iMac, which is compatible.

In the App Store, the Download button on the Mojave page says 'Open' instead of 'Download'.

When clicking Open via this link: https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/macos-mojave/id1398502828?mt=12

, a pop-up alert says:

This copy of the Install macOS Mojave application is damaged, and can‘t be used to install macOS.

Is there an alternative place to download Mojave please?

iMac Line (2012 and Later)

If the App Store says ‘Open’ then it is detecting a previous download of the install app

go to the Applications folder locate Install macOS Mojave.app.

Move it to the Trash, empty the Trash.

Restart, click on the link again, the App Store should say ‘Get' or 'Download'.

If you get a corrupted message...

Naw, not damaged, it's just that you have an old copy already in Applications, there are 2 cures...

Disconnect from the Internet & set the Date back to 2014, then you can run the Install MacsOS Mohave App in Applications, so expired Certificates are not expired.

Or... trash the Install MacsOS Mojave.app in Applications, empty trash & restart, then a new copy of a more recent version can be downloaded..

The issue is on your computer, not with the link. Choose Applications from the Finder's Go menu, throw the existing installer away, and download another copy.
