   3. Windows 64-Bit
   4. MacOS
2. Now double click the downloaded installer to begin the install process. Note you will need to be an admin on the machine to install this software. 
3. When prompted for a server address during client install:
   1. OU HSC students should use: https://ou-students.sassafrascloud.com
      • Note that you must include https://
      • This can also be entered in the KeyAccess Setup (preference panel on MacOS)
4. Your computer will now reboot.

Once your machine has completed Sassafras (KeyAccess) installation, HSC students should Find their Serial Number and Submit the Student Encryption Certification Form.
