Where can I download Apple Remote Desktop SERVER for Catalina 10.15.7?

Hi UberFlyOzGuy,

Thank you for posting to Apple Support Communities.

You can download Remote Desktop from the App Store. Use this link to access it on your Mac: Apple Remote Desktop on the Mac App Store

Additional guidance to install and set up Remote Desktop is here: Install and set up Remote Desktop - Apple Support

Take care.

Hey UberFlyOzGuy,

Generally, the latest compatible version of a piece of software will be available on the App Store on any given system, so if you search for Apple Remote Desktop on a system running macOS 10.15.7, you'll likely see a compatible version of the software. Is that where you're checking for this download, or are you looking for the download on a system running macOS 11 or later?

The Downloads page contains individual update downloads, but they're incremental updates rather than the whole program, and it doesn't look like 3.8 or 3.9 updates are on there, assumedly because they're still on the relevant App Stores for the older versions of macOS.

Take care.

Since ARD Admin is only available through the App Store, you will only be able to access the older version (maybe) if you had previously purchased the older version.

When you make such a purchase, it is usually best to keep an archive copy handy if you ever want to have a specific older point release version again. Apple doesn't make these things easy.

FYI, I would store it on external media that is not connected to the Mac where you download a newer version of an app from the App Store since it may update your archive version...this happened to me when I moved a macOS installer from the Applications folder and found out the App Store still updated the copy I had moved. Better yet...I now use Disk Utility to store any App Store purchase in to a read-only .dmg archive to prevent an accidental update of my archived copy of an app.

Keep in mind Apple only cares about the now and expects everyone to be completely updated even though in the real world people like to keep older systems around which may need to be reinstalled from time to time. This process is only a secondary after thought for Apple these days. Just another reason I don't like the App Store.

Hey UberFlyOzGuy,

Apple Remote Desktop is compatible with Macs running macOS 10.10.5 or later, so it should run on your Mac running macOS Catalina 10.15.7.

We hope this helps out.

Take care!
