Mavericks is too old to run on your MacBook Pro.

If it matters, the installer isn't present on a computer which originally shipped with it and is only available to Apple IDs which downloaded it before Yosemite came out.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities

As you bought the MacBook Pro in December 2014, you probably have got a Mid 2014 MacBook Pro.

This MacBook Pro model is compatible with OS X Mavericks, but the problem is that yours came with OS X Yosemite. It means that Apple does not let you downgrade to OS X Mavericks (if you do so, you will void warranty), and if you do, you may have issues with firmware and Internet Recovery.

Today I went to the Apple store in my town and have tried with an external hard drive that had mavericks to see if connecting to my mac my mac recognizes ... ( speaking of "boot " ) ... my mac it recognizes . Then they said that you can do . To do so , however, asked me a figure high enough for me . For what I asked for your help to figure out how to install it on a USB key Maverick taken from the computer of my girl riding mavericks . Sorry for my English , but I'm using the google translator 🙂

Either connect a regular external drive to the older MacBook Pro or use the Disk Utility to partition the new one's internal drive, connect the two computers through FireWire or Thunderbolt, restart the new one with the T key held down, start the older one from the recovery partition(press the Command and R keys at startup), and install the OS.

If you're actually able to download the installer from the Mac App Store, you can use it instead of restarting from the recovery partition.
