That software is a scam. You don't need third-party VPN software, since Windows includes the functionality built in.
You need something to point it to, but it'll take hostnames just fine. So if she doesn't have a static IP for her work server (although she should), just set her up with DynDNS.
This does require a little bit more setup on your end, though. You'll need to set up an account on the server that she can use to log in, and monkey with the permissions so she can access the files she needs to.
Those VPN routers also aren't necessary. All they do is create a VPN tunnel between two points -- it's a good option if you want to cross-connect two LANs, but if it's just one or two systems remotely connecting to a server you don't need that. Far more important is security. Make sure she has a solid firewall.
Really, there's no reason to overthink this. A few dozen clicks on her box at home, a few dozen more on the server, take your giant consulting fee and call it a day.
