    Hi robarivas,

     

    You can only have one Personal mode gateway running for each Power BI account. If you install another Personal mode gateway for the same account, even on a different computer, the most recent installation replaces the existing previous installation. For On-Premise gateway,  you can install multiple On-premises data gateways on different computers, and manage them all from the same Power BI gateway management interface.

     

    Reference: Install the On-premises data gateway

     

    Best regards,
