How do I download Quickbooks Desktop for Mac 2016 R5? I am running Yosemite (10.10.5) and every release from R6 forward requires El Capitan (10.11).

I just purchased the upgrade from Quickbooks Desktop for Mac 2014 because of the planned obsolescence built-into the product, but I am still running Yosemite. The version offered to download is the latest revision (R14) but apparently to run under Yosemite, I have to run R5 or earlier.

How can I get a previous version?

When I first completed my purchase it prompted me to download but it didn't prompt for my OS, it simply downloaded the latest revision. After returning to the download page and selecting the download action again, it prompted me for my OS.

I'll forward this on to support.

What is the status of this? I need this TODAY. My main computer HD has failed and I'm running from my laptop, MacBook Air, and I'm running Yosemite. I need to install this today and cannot find the proper link on your site due to various broken links and utterly unavailable Support contact info. If there's any way to get this resolved or if there's a download link that anyone has to send me, I would be very appreciative, instead of very frustrated having spent an hour already trying to find it!!!
