The students for this project were in charge of installing Encase and its S.A.F.E.  The Encase client software was already installed on each of the lab computers so the student only had to install the license server.  The instructor gave the students a dell computer to use for the S.A.F.E. server.  It was installed by following the instruction manual then the public and private encryption keys were generated as well as the machine token.  Then, both of those were sent to the Indiana Company and the students waited for the completion file to finish the installation.  The instructor used the file to complete the server installation.  In order to use the full-license Encase outside of the lab environment, the students suggested using VPN.  They tried OpenVPN, but was unsuccessful.  They then used freesshd and puTTy to create a secure connection.  That method worked but the client computer was still unable to communicate with Encase NAS to retrieve the license.  Next, the students tried to use LogMeIn VPN software and was able to successfully complete the project.
