Hi everyone, 

I'm trying to use VS Code on my Mac to remotely access arcpy on a Windows machine. However, when I connect, it fails to find the license and throws an activation error.

Does anyone have any recommendations or best practices for setting up an SSH connection to run arcpy?

Thanks in advance!

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?

Yes, that's exactly it! It's running VS Code on my Mac and calling the Windows license. Is there any way to make this work?
