Are ENVI and IDL compatible with Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite? / System dependencies

ENVI 5.3 and IDL 8.5 for Mac are officially supported on Mac OS X 10.10 (Yosemite) and 10.9 (Mountain Lion). 

The previous version ENVI 5.2 and IDL 8.4 for Mac are only officially supported on Mac OS X 10.9 and 10.8. However, informal testing and customer reports indicate that ENVI5.2 and IDL 8.4 can run successfully on Yosemite.

If ENVI or IDL fails to launch for you on Mac OS X Yosemite, the following Help Articles may help you to correct the problem:

So, where can I download ENVI 5.2 and IDL 8.4? I lost my installer and I don't have a license yet for the latest versions.
