Hi Cherry

Thank you for the reply.

So am I correct that all the gateways are not needing a BI License at all - just so long as they can connect to all data sources used?

Do I then go to Power BI online, and select the main gateway to be used, and all other personal ones just need to install and it will automatically allow them to select the main gateway to connect to?

Hi Anonymous ,

I'm afraid that you need a Power BI free license when you sign in the Gateway. As the gateway is associated with your Power BI account, and you manage gateways from within the Power BI service. 

Then you could see your gateway under Manage gateways in Power BI Service. 

I’m a little confused about your second question, do you want to share your gateway?

If it is, please have a good look at this document.

Best  Regards,

Cherry
