In the past it was common to be able to download Apple's own software for older versions of macOS / OS X. App Store would show a pop-up saying that the latest version is X but you can download the most compatible for your version of OS.
With the launch of Big Sur someone in Cupertino felt that the laggards are not welcome any longer in the Garden of Apple and they nuked all versions older than macOS Catalina. I tried to download Keynote and Server which have been in my purchase history for past 10+ years, but all I got was a pop-up telling me to upgrade to 10.15.
OK, I could (I don't want to though) do that on my Mac Pro 2013 and MBP 2014, but my 2 old MBP 17" Core 2 Duo are showing same pop-up and I missed the info that those machines can upgrade to macOS 15 (they run combinations of OS X 10.6, 10.8 and 10.9).
Does anybody have any suggestions? Direct download links perhaps... ?
UPDATE: scratch that... I was ignoring Security & Safari 14 updates due to the problems reported by many users. Once installed in a specific sequence the purchased files became available to download max version for Mojave.
