Hi @datavis ,

The Enterprise Data Gateway provided by Power BI is completely free to download and use.You don't need a license.

The primary role of the Enterprise Data Gateway is to act as a bridge that allows the Power BI Service to access our on-premises data sources

Enterprise gateways are divided into standard gateways and personal gateways.

In general, we recommend using an enterprise gateway, which is more powerful and allows users to share the gateway.

The following are the main differences between the two types of gateways:

standard gateway

personal gateway

Support for multiple users

YES

NO

Support cloud services

Support PowerBI、PowerAPPs、Power Automate and so on

Only support PowerBI
