    Hi mcguija,

     

    The latest version of Power BI Enterprise Gateway is "13.0.1700.1099".

     

    As there is no Gateway Update Notification and Auto update for Enterprise Gateway currently, we may need to download the gateway under the Downloads menu on Power BI service and reinstall it manually for updating. 

     

    The idea for Gateway Update Notification and Auto update for Enterprise Gateway is already shared on Power BI ideas. You can vote it up here and add your comments there to improve Power BI and make this feature coming sooner.:smileyhappy:

Hey mcguija,

 

1. Below is a screenshot of my About page. That is the latest version.

 

 

2. There will be a notification when you open PBI Desktop and you can visit the blog for the update notes.

3. No configuration lost. You just install the newest from here.

 

Hope this helps,

 

Alan

      Hi,

       

      Where did you get the version number from?  I took it from the file properies of EnterpriseGatewayConfigurator.exe.  Is there another way from the Application?

       

      Thanks

        Hi mcguija,

         

        I get the version number from the latest log file of the Gateway within folder "<system drive>:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\On-premises data gateway". I also don't find a way from the Application.:smileyhappy:

        • replace <system drive> with your operating system hard disk partition
        • replace <user> with your user profile name, typically the alias you login to Windows with

    mcguija,

     

    If it is a personal gateway it is the same process. The new update you install will just override the current, but keep the configuration.

     

    I don't know much about the update process for enterprise gateways.
