If you go on Amazon and look for the boxed version of Aperture, you can install this on your Mac and Apple still has all of the various Aperture Updates still available on Apple's support section of their website.
I never bought the download version of Aperture.
I purchased the boxed version of Aperture 3 and went to the Apple support section of their website, did a search for Aperture updates and installed all of them to the various versions of OS X I have installed on my system.
The last update to Aperture, 3.6.1 will still work on OS X 10.11.6 El Capitán.
However, as you already may know, you can continue to use Aperture, but it is has been orphaned software since OS X 10.10 Yosemite.
So, no more updates or support from Apple.
