What would you do if they insist to use database without paying for database

The database in question has a permanent license, so that it not a problem.
Excellent. Do you need to pay the vendor every x period? Or is that license
just an once-off annoyance?
The problem is that it is running on a old Windows server; which is being
decommissioned. And the software apparently will not run a current Windows
server.
I got burned by a similar situation. Some hardware broken down, but luckily I
could scavenge some 'newish' hardware. I tried to install windoze 2008, XP and
98, only got a nasty BSOD during initial phase of installation despite fiddling
around with BIOS settings.
Installing a newer windoze worked, but I soon ran into compatibility issues,
just like you.
So, if your windoze server's hardware crash, you may have some recovery problem
(hopefully AFTER you retired ... <grin> )
In that case you should be able to run current Windows on new x86
(actually x64) server and run some VM hypervisor (i.e. VirtualBox) and
WindowsXP under the VM.
License should also be no problem.
BTW: Old system under VirtualBox is my solution for IBM Shopz Download
Manager.
