Is there any way to get hold of a legitimate copy of the Yosemite installer?

I have 3 suites of Macs running Mavericks I'd like to upgrade and unfortunately El Capitan has issues with some of the software we use, such as Adobe CS5.

The only legitimate way I know of is through the App store, so long as you've downloaded it previously. As I purchased a new Macbook Air with Yosemite already installed, I've never downloaded it with my account.
 
Thanks for the reply.

Unfortunately not:

"Item not available
The item you've requested is not currently available in the UK store"

Thanks for trying.
 
You mention that you once had this on your Macbook Air
Here is how to get OS X Yosemite from the App Store.

Open the App Store (choose Store > Sign In if you need to log in).
Click Purchased
Scroll down to find OS X Yosemite.
Click Download.
The installer application will be downloaded to your Applications folder

You won't be able to install Yosemite directly onto a machine running El Capitan, but it can be used to upgrade a Mac running an earlier operating system.

If you want to revert OS X El Capitan to OS Yosemite, you will need to format the hard drive and install Yosemite onto a blank drive.
