Can i still purchase Lion Server 10.7?

I have a Mac Pro that i was planning on converting into a server, but i have found that it is not upgradable to 10.8 and the Lion Server app is no longer available on the app store. Am I out of luck on getting this mac to run the server tools?

Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.4)

UPDATE: Contacted Apple sales today, Lion Server no longer in the app store, even for Apple associates. Told them the "contact apple sales, they can sell it to you separately, etc" but no luck. They were happy to refer me to the Refub section of the store, where I could happily hand over $850 for a refurb Mac Mini Server (of which none were currently in stock), as well as apply for credit to help spread the payments over time. No thanks.

You can still buy OS X Lion Server from Apple. Don't call the regular sales number, or if you do ask for Enterprise Sales. The regular sales guys had no clue what I was talking about and didn't even know what OS X Lion Server was... So I asked to be transferred to their Enterprise Sales dept and they knew straight off what I wanted and processed the order for $20 + tax and within 4 days I received a redeem code form the Mac App store.


Downloaded and working.

Just to add my experience (and make it so people can see what date this was still being sold...): purchased OS X Lion Server tonight via Enterprise Sales. Took quite a while to get through what I wanted, why (old Mac mini gathering dust and might as well use it to set up my own VPN connections for when I'm traveling), etc. etc. But after 30 minutes it was on its way and I had a web order number. So at least as of late November 2015 this is still available.
