Nov 15, 2015 6:28 AM in response to LownoteNBby MrHoffman,ARD 3.8 is current, obviously.
I'd doubt that ARD 3.0 works here, as 3.0 is comparatively ancient, but — since you're probably not inclined purchase an upgrade to current from the Mac App Store — generate a scratch OS X 10.11 install on a scratch disk and install ARD 3.0 there, and see if it works. Or install an older OS X release on the external scratch disk — whatever old release your Mac will boot and that supports ARD 3.0 and at least OS X 10.6.8 with Mac App Store — and see if you can get MAS to detect and recognize that and put the product in your purchase history for a subsequent upgrade on the not-scratch boot disk. Or call Apple Support and explain your situation and see if a redemption code can be made available. That lattermost approach might be quickest.

Nov 25, 2015 12:05 PM in response to LownoteNBby Antonio Rocco,To get the non-App Store version of ARD installed try the instructions give here:
Installing Apple Remote Desktop 3.3 in OS X Lion or later - Apple Support
I doubt if it can 'harm' the OS but you never know? However if it was me you should take the plunge and 'purchase' the latest version available on the App Store instead as - IMO - this would be a better long term solution for you
