Logic Pro 11 on my old 2012 machine

Im looking to get Logic Pro on my 2012 Mac mini but it looks like the only way is to download it to a newer machine then come back this old machine then I`ll get and option to download a legacy version - problem is I don't have a new machine to buy the new version ... so how do I get a legacy version of Logic Pro that will work on my old machine ??

Your idea sounds good in theory, but unless you have purchased a previous version of Logic Pro in the past, you will not be offered an earlier version simply by buying the app today on a newer machine. Retroactive access to earlier applications by virtue of buying a current version isn't a thing.


Your 2012 Mac mini wants to retire. It's time to throw a party and let it.

MacOS 10.15 Catalina, the newest OS your mini can run, is done being supported by Apple and just about every app developer around.
