I've got an older Mac Pro that's not compatible with Mavericks. I just purchased a Mtn Lion upgrade, but can't seem to figure out where the download link is. Would appreciate a little help. I did a search of the forums, but haven't found the answer yet..
Thanks!
Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
As far as I know the only way to get Mountain Lion is to call Apple and purchase a code to download it from the App Store.

Here's the link: http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6377Z/A/os-x-mountain-lion
If you just purchased it, why do you need a download link?
The installer will be in your Applications folder. It should auto start when the download completes. Tip: I recommend quitting the installer and moving it out of your Applications folder before running it. That way it won't self delete after the installation.
If it isn't compatible with Mavericks, it shouldn't be compatible with Mountain Lion. The requirements are the same.
To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
Good observation, missed it.
I just edited the reply to fix my oops. 😝
There was no downloadable after making the purchase, the confirmation page stated that I needed to wait for the email (which I got), but that the download would be managed through the app store. As far as I can tell Mtn Lion can't be downloaded via the store.
But I guess that doesn't matter since I believe my Mac Pro is 1, 1 (I'm not sitting in front of it now)
I guess I won't be able to run Lightroom 5...
Thanks for all the help! Now I need to see if I can get my money back.
Well, Lightroom 5 will run on Lion and Lion will run on a MacPro 1.1.

****... I don't know how I missed that. Well I guess now my problem is figuring out how I swap my purchase for 10.7.
Thanks!

You can do that by calling 1-800-My Apple, but getting through the automated phone tree is very frustrating.
Older MacPro, can't upgrade to Mavericks, but having trouble finding download link for Mtn Lion
