Sep 10, 2015 1:15 PM in response to NPN-ITSby cdhw,This is a users' forum. You need to contact Apple Education for sales information.
AFAIK you can't buy Server via Apple Education, you need to buy it via VPP.

Sep 10, 2015 1:30 PM in response to cdhwby NPN-ITS,Thank You... Problem is I need to purchase it with School Purchase Order. VPP has a problem with my Apple ID because I used it to redeem earlier software on my servers as apple ID and now cannot use as Program Facilitator Apple ID. You know whom I can contact to straighten out me apple ID conundrum? Life was simple when you could just buy it and they shipped the software to you.

Sep 10, 2015 1:51 PM in response to NPN-ITSby cdhw,It depends which country you are in but, for example, go to:
and in the section 'How to buy for Education' half way down the RHS it says:
If you are buying on behalf of an educational institution, visit the Apple Store for Education Institutions or call 1-800-800-2775, 7 days a week from 5:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Pacific time.
Find a telephone and then...
I suspect that you will have to set up a new Apple ID and use it wholly and exclusively for VPP purchases. If you really have to use a PO then there is (or at least used to be) a work round that involved buying iTunes gift cards from Apple with the PO and then redeeming them in the App Store. Do that a couple of times and your finance officer will probably authorise use of an institutional credit card
