OpenShift v4.9.29 and crc v1.22.5

[Cronist]

First of all, thank you so much for this wonderful project.
But for development, upgrade, and test purposes I need to install OpenShift v4.9.29.
if the CRC version will be v1.22.5 it is perfect. if not nothing to do.
I tried to download and install so different versions from https://developers.redhat.com/content-gateway/rest/mirror/pub/openshift-v4/clients/crc/ but with no success.
I would be so glad if you can help me.

We do not support older versions. However I am not so sure why you receive a 403 Forbidden error.
Version 1.99.4 was a test version for 2.0 and therefore the bundle might not be available anymore.

The last release that contained an embedded bundle is:
https://developers.redhat.com/content-gateway/rest/mirror2/pub/openshift-v4/clients/crc/1.40.0/ which comes with OCP 4.9.18.
