where do i find os x server for mavericks?

Hello Mac Technical Family,

Where do I find OS X Server for Mavericks? I do recall purchasing it sometime ago through my App Store account, but I've had multiple projects since touching Server under OS 10.8. Now the app store only makes Server for Yosemite available. I have a case created with Apple and they are researching but it may be 48 hours before anyone reads and responds. I'm hoping someone out there can respond with a quicker reference to either the link of supply info regarding the best alternative to get the Server piece.

*I can't run Casper on the Server under 10.10.1 due to a couple of things that Casper doesn't like (so I'm in a catch 22 until JAMF creates a fix for 10.10.1).

Thanks for the direction and feedback!

Mac Pro, null

You can use this link to re-download either OS X Server for Mountain Lion or Mavericks.

Thanks, keg55. My apologies for not replying to your answer. I greatly appreciate your tip, it was right on time. Guess I got pretty focused on resolving the issue I was working on that I never got back to the forum. But again, thanks! -marantsam

Apple have unnecessarily removed the visible entries to re-download Server.app 2.x for Mountain Lion, and 3.x for Mavericks from peoples 'Previous Purchases' lists.

As per the link provided by keg55 you can - if you have previously purchased these versions re-download it despite this.

I suspect Apple's thinking is that -

All Macs that can run Mountain Lion or Mavericks can run Yosemite
Yosemite is a free upgrade
Therefore all users should upgrade to Yosemite and then get Server 4.x

Note: If you have previously purchased Server.app 1.x for Lion then this is still listed in Previous Purchased because not all Lion compatible machines can run Mountain Lion, Mavericks or Yosemite.
