Updating to an older Logic Pro version?

I've seen this kind of question asked before, but still don't know the answer for sure:


I'm still running Monterey, here, (because, y'know, stability, long-term nervousness about upgrading OSs when projects are ongoing) but I'd like to update Logic Pro (I'm currently on 10.7.4) to the latest version I'm allowed.


In the past, when you wanted to update applications, the App Store definitely *used* to show you a message like "The latest version is XXXX, but you can download the latest compatible version."


That no longer seems to be the case. I'm not offered the latest compatible version of Logic (or Mainstage, for that matter) – just a message in the App Store saying "Required macOS 13.5 or later".


Is this really how it is? We can no longer upgrade at our own speed, when we're fairly certain that all the plugins we use are compatible and relatively rock-solid? Seems odd that I have to trundle along with Logic 10.7.4 until I'm brave enough to update to Ventura. But hey, maybe I should just bite the bullet :\

I think I've answered my own question. If you bin the current version of the app from your Applications folder, and restart the App Store app, THEN you get the prompt asking you if you'd like the most recent compatible version. Mad to have to jump through such a hoop, but there you go.
