Big Sur upgrade from Mojave

I have iMacPro 2017 and I want to upgrade to Big Sur. I can not launch the Big Sur update from App store. If I click on 'Get' in App Store, It directs me to System preferences/Software update box, and I have a message: "Update not found. The requested version of macOS is not available."

I can not update to Monterey, the softwares what I use doesn't support it yet.

Thanks Matti, I tried the terminal command, no luck. I don't know exactly what you mean '3rd party snake oil', sorry my English is poor. I am using this system for work, Avid Media Composer, Adobe package, Blackmagic Resolve and Fusion, Unreal Engine, some transcoding tool, Office, this kind of stuff. I don't have 3rd party firewall, ip blocking or antivirus app.

I tried to start the process from Safari, but I have the same result.

So after couple of tries, even to start in safe mode, I always had the same result. Finally I found an article on Mr Macintosh blog, and a link to the Apple swcdn server, so finally I could download the Big Sur Installer. Now I am writing these lines from the upgraded Big Sur OS.
