# Resolving UnsupportedProductError in Python ElasticSearch When Using AWS ElasticSearch

If you encounter the following error:
<pre>elasticsearch.exceptions.UnsupportedProductError: The client noticed that the server is not a supported distribution of Elasticsearch</pre>
when connecting to AWS OpenSearch/Elasticsearch using the Python elasticsearch library version 7.14, you can resolve it by downgrading the library version. To do so, use the following command:
<pre>pip install "elasticsearch<7.14"</pre>
