Legacy downloads for older versions of MacOS

Users most frequently need a legacy version because they’re on an older version of the Mac’s operating system, MacOS, which our current release no longer supports.

Every year, Apple releases a new version of MacOS. We spend a great deal of time working to support these annual updates, while also maintaining support for multiple previous versions of MacOS. Eventually, however, changes to the operating system force us to drop support for older MacOS versions.

When support for an older MacOS is dropped from one of our products, we add the previous version as a download on our Legacy page. In this way, folks still running an older version of MacOS version can still access and use the software.

Legacy downloads of outdated versions

When we add substantial new functionality to a product, we may ship it as a new version. Access to this new version will require another purchase, with owners of the previous version being offered a discounted upgrade price. You can read more about upgrades here.

We never force you to upgrade, however. The now-outdated version of the software will continue to work uninterrupted. Further, the Legacy page always offers links to download these outdated versions, providing you with permanent access to what you purchased.

Legacy downloads of retired applications

With more than two decades in business, we have occasionally found it necessary to retire products which have seen their utility wan. The Legacy page ensures that even these retired applications remain available for download.

Purchase to unlock

All of our products must be unlocked with a license key, and that includes legacy downloads. Purchasing a license key through our store will enable you to unlock the current version, and also entitle you to unlock any legacy downloads you may wish to use.

Legacy downloads will often unlock with a current license key, but certain very old applications may require a secondary license key. If you’ve purchased a product and need additional assistance unlocking it, please get in touch.

Legacy downloads are not fully supported

All legacy downloads are battle-tested, and we generally expect them to perform without issue. However, they are not fully supported the way the current version of the software is.

If you need assistance with a legacy version of Loopback, we still invite you to get in touch with our support team. We’ll do our best to assist you, but our ultimate recommendation may be that you update to a current version of the product.
