Which MacBook Pro do you have? That will determine whether you can update to Ventura (13.*) or Sonoma (14.*).

Look in About This Mac in the Apple () menu. Then check the model and the hardware model year against these compatibility lists.

macOS Sonoma is compatible with these computers - Apple Support

If your Mac can run Ventura (13.*), then to download Ventura, you would use the link in

How to download and install macOS - Apple Support

It's really frustrating and annoying that Apple changes (increases) the requirements for their apps on an ongoing basis upon the release of each yearly issue of macOS and then to rub salt in the wound, also with interim version updates like Ventura 13.4. IMHO this is just a way to force users to upgrade to the latest version of macOS. And it eventually leads to users having to purchase new Macs just to get the latest OS.

Apple officially supports the current release of macOS + 2 previous releases. At present that includes Sonoma, Ventura & Monterey. Why can't that support be extended to Apple apps also? Customers should be able to purchase & install these Apps on all supported OS versions.

In order to purchase (or, it seems, to redeem the codes) you need Ventura 13.4 or later, or Sonoma.

But you can use the applications in Monterey, once you have bought them.

In this circumstance, you need to have temporary access to a Mac running 13.4 or later - maybe a friend's or a family member's mac. Make sure to log in to the App Store with YOUR Apple id. Redeem the codes and then delete the applications from that mac. This will associate the purchase with your Apple id.

Back in your Monterey mac: open the App Store, click on your account at the Bottom left. Locate the purchased apps in the list. Click the Cloud icon next to each of them, and you will be allowed to download a version compatible with Monterey.

I would like to believe that, but the current tech specs for FCP indicate a minimum of macOS 13.4 ... so it's not just an App Store requirement, it appears to be a software requirement.

Further, in my experience whenever I've even tried to update an Apple app I already have, once a new version of macOS is released, no further update even appears in the App store even though I happen to know there was/is an update for the app version I have on the macOS version I have. On the few occasions I have gotten a message that I coujld "download the last available update that is compatible" ... it has never worked; nothing ever happens when I accept that prompt. It's really maddening.

I have downloaded several older versions of FCP in the manner that I described, from getting 10.2.3 on Yosemite to 10.something in Big Sur, and it has always worked. If some version of

FCP is already present, then we need to move it out of sight (by putting it in the trash, for example) or we’ll see “Open” instead of the cloud download icon.

Let me clarify: the current version of FCP, 10.6.10, requires at least Ventura.

Previous versions work on older systems. My daughter is stuck in Big Sur, because she has an older mac. She is using 10.6.5 without issue.

Anyone who already has purchased FCP sometime since 2011 and has a mac that can run some older version because they are not on Ventura or Sonoma can download an appropriate version of FCP for their OS.
