    You might need to remote sign in that VM to check gateway version, it is not possible to check gateway version from Power BI Service.

    In addition, you can check what is the version of latest gateway under Details in the link below.

      Thanks Lydia,

       

      You are right. But what about enterprise gateways on i.e. VMs? If I am an admin, can I check version from PBI Service?

      Also, where to find the version for the lates one: 

       

      https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/gateway/ 

       

      before to download?

    Hi Anonymous 

    You can use the Power BI PowerShell to get the gateway version information:

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/power-bi/overview?view=powerbi-ps

    Just enter the following commands after having installed the Powershell module:

     

    Connect-PowerBIServiceAccount
Invoke-PowerBIRestMethod -Url gateways -Method Get

     

    You then get a JSON that contains the version info in the gatewayAnnotation.gatewayVersion attribute:

     

    {
  "@odata.context":"http://wabi-north-europe-redirect.analysis.windows.net/v1.0/myorg/$metadata#gateways","value":[
    {
      "id":"****","gatewayId":0,"name":"My Gateway","type":"Resource","publicKey":{
        "exponent":"AQAB","modulus":"***"
      },"gatewayAnnotation":"{\"gatewayContactInformation\":[\"[email protected]\"],\"gatewayVersion\":\"3000.9.194+ga90bb05c0e\",\"gatewayWitnessString\":\"{\\\"EncryptedResult\\\":\\\"***",\\\"IV\\\":\\\"***",\\\"Signature\\\":\\\"***"}\",\"gatewayMachine\":\"***\"}"
    }
  ]
}

    Another way, without requiring login (and therefore more suitable for checking with an automated tool) maybe to check the version number of the  .exe using something like this

     

     

    (Get-Item "C:\Program Files\On-premises data gateway\Microsoft.PowerBI.EnterpriseGateway.exe").VersionInfo.FileVersion
