have lion thumbdrive already, want to install lion server

I purchased the Lion thumbdrive -- installed it on my Mac Pro;

now I want to upgrade my MacMini Server from 10.8 to Lion;

I put the thumbdrive in the miniserver and I get the following message:

"Waiting for App Store to download Mac OS X Server Add On."


So I go to the App Store and I don't find the Server Add On.


After hunting around on the "Store" I found the Lion Server for $49.99.

Went to purchase it and I get the following message:

"Because this computer is using OS X Server, you must purchase both OS X Lion and OS X Lion Server in order to upgrade. This will cost $79.98."


I don't think I should be required to pay the extra $30...


Anyone found a work around for this?
