Previous Adobe DNG Converter versions?

Hi, hope someone can help, I am trying to track down a compatible version of DNG converter app (for Mac) as the current version available isnt compatible with my computer.

Adobe, in their infinite wisdom, have removed all previous versions and despite getting in touch with their labourious online chat system their standard reply is 'update to the latest Mac OS'...something I can't do currently - and knowing they do exist would rather not shell out for a whole new machine just to overcome this very simple problem...(Feels very much like pulling LR6 support 'update your computer' seems a standard reply, which is utterly ridiculous).

 

So, if there is anyone out there with a link/resouce to these it would be greatly appreciated. I run one machine on 10.12.6 (Sierra) and another on 10.11 (El Cap)...

 

Many thanks!

    You can get older versions of the dng converter from this Adobe ftp:

    ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/dng

     

    Mac OS X El Capitan 10.11 DNG Converter 10.5 is the newest compatible

     

    macOS Sierra 10.12.6 DNG Converter 11.4.1 is the newest compatible

    The FTP link given by Jeff will work. If you don't know how to use that, you can download specific versions by manually modifying this URL: https://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/dng/mac/DNGConverter_17_5.dmg

    Ex. 11.4.1 would be https://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/dng/mac/DNGConverter_11_4_1.dmg

      Not sure if these links are still valid but this site kept archives of the previous builds:

        thanks, yes I did find this via a quick google and there are a few there. although I can't find any mention of compatibility or changelogs that go with any versions listed anywhere (if they are listed!)
