Hi Jeff, I was contacted by the support staff yesterday (somehow at 7 in the morning on a Saturday), and I have gotten Lightroom 4 (re-)installed on my Mac now. Allow me to just leave my takeaway here for the support team to consider—short and long versions ahead.
Short version:-
I would suggest for the support team to simply post *this* download link for Lightroom 4 for Mac <Removed by Moderator>at the Download Photoshop Lightroom​​ page, for users who still need the installer to download on their own. (If the support team has concerns about the compatibility/stability of Lightroom 4 with newer versions of OS X/macOS, perhaps a short note can be appended to highlight this, though the existing note on the page that "Lightroom 4 and 5 are no longer officially supported" should suffice already.)
Long version:-
When I first needed the Lightroom 4 installer after having clean installed macOS High Sierra, I was directed by @AdobeCare on Twitter to the Download Photoshop Lightroom page, which directed me to "Contact Support" (which for my Adobe account and the product in question, i.e. Lightroom 4, was only the Community forums here). After digging around, I found two possible solutions that were posted on multiple threads, namely a) download the Lightroom 4 trial from ProDesignTools, and b) the direct installer link for the 4.4.1.dmg. I didn't realise initially that ProDesignTools was affiliated to Adobe, so I had thought it was a third-party website and decided that was probably not the option I was going to take; also, I figured it was a trial for version 4.0.0, and so couldn't be certain that I could update it to 4.4.1 after installing. Hence, I figured I would probably go with the 4.4.1.dmg direct link. At this point I had decided to check with @AdobeCare if that link was legitimate, and I believe it was you who stated the concern that "the security certificate for the installer you have located is likely expired", which I inferred as advice not to use that link.
What followed was this thread here, and me finally getting the call from Swati Garg on the support team yesterday. During the call, she asked to confirm what my issue was, and so I informed her that I needed the Lightroom 4 for Mac installer. She then checked if I preferred for her to share the link with me, or to do a screen share for her to directly help me with the installation; I told her that sending me the link would be good enough. Shortly after I received an email with the link... for the Windows version of Lightroom 4, so I replied that that's not what I needed and asked for her to send me the link for the Mac version. The reply came soon after, and it turns out that the recommended download link with accompanying instructions was... exactly what was posted in the forums for the trial installer from ProDesignTools. I decided to just go ahead with that option this time (and this was also when I found out that ProDesignTools was an Adobe Systems affiliate). I went ahead to download the trial installer for Lightroom 4, and when I ran the installer, I got a pop up message... warning me that the security certificate for the installer was expired, and asking if I wished to continue with the installation anyway.
I guess you can probably sense my increasing frustration by now. I figured that if this installer's security certificate was also expired, I might as well go ahead with the 4.4.1.dmg installer, and so that is what I did. Thankfully the installation went smoothly and I was able to check that my Catalogs worked fine as well.
So here's my feedback on this whole process: it has mostly turned out to be quite a major waste of time—if not for the support team, then definitely for me. If the recommended download process for the Lightroom 4 for Mac installer is exactly the same as what has been posted in multiple threads on the Community forums, anyone that I have come across contact with on the support team could have easily directed me to one of these threads specifically early on in the process, instead of me having to jump through all these hoops of trying to get access to a chat session (which I still believe is impossible for my account, because the system sees that I only have a licence for this older version of Lightroom and so am not eligible for chat support), posting here in this forum, then finally still having to be contacted via a separate channel, only to be officially given the same information I had already come across in the forums. And given that (presumably) all the still-available installers for Lightroom 4 for Mac have their security certificates expired, and that the link for the 4.4.1.dmg hosted on Adobe's download server is still live, that would be the better solution. Evidently, there are still many users who require a Lightroom 4 for Mac installer, going by the number of threads I have found in this forum, it would be much simpler to just have the Mac link for the installer posted on the Download Photoshop Lightroom page, just as the link for the Windows version is there as well. This would *definitely* save everybody a lot of headache, primarily the users, but also the support team having to respond to multiple identical requests over and over again unnecessarily.
I sincerely hope that this feedback is useful, and taken seriously, so that the experience will be more pleasant and less convoluted for everyone going forward. That's the only reason why I have taken this extra time to write this long post, even though I've already spent/wasted way too much time trying to resolve this issue, when it could have been oh-so-straightforward. Thanks for your attention.
