I can't purchase OS X Server

I'm trying to purchase OS X Server for my Mac Pro from the App Store and it won't let me. It says I already have OS X Server isntalled on this computer. And it's right, I do.... but when I try to run my copy of OS X Server it says I cannot run this version of Server (1.5.0) on this version of OS X (10.8.2). That's why I wanted to buy the latest version! What can I do besides wiping my hard drive?

Mac Pro (2009 Quad), Mac OS X (10.5.7)

Didn't work. Here's what happened. In the App Store Application was able to press the INSTALL button for OS X Lion Server, entered my password, theb I saw the button change to UPDATE, so I then pressed the UPDATE button. I waited about 60 seconds and then a popup appeared "ERROR 1004 Please Try again Later. [CANCEL] [RETRY]". Regardless of whether I click on CANCEL or RETRY I get another popup with the same message every 60 seconds indefinitely. It's an infinite popup loop. Should I restore the Server app so that I'm not having this serious problem?
