However, when I connect, it fails to find the license and throws an activation error.<BR /><BR />Does anyone have any recommendations or best practices for setting up an SSH connection to run arcpy?<BR /><BR />Thanks in advance!</P> Sat, 23 May 2026 01:34:10 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/arcpy-ssh-activation/m-p/1703989#M75248 MiquelDonega 2026-05-23T01:34:10Z https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/arcpy-ssh-activation/m-p/1704490#M75254 <P>The arcpy environment does require access to all the ArcPro binaries. The first thing arcpy does on import is look for your install directory. Could be that the interpreter is running from your Mac instead of on your Windows machine?</P> Tue, 26 May 2026 22:06:20 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/arcpy-ssh-activation/m-p/1704490#M75254 HaydenWelch 2026-05-26T22:06:20Z https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/arcpy-ssh-activation/m-p/1704756#M75258 <P>Yes, that's exactly it!
