Power BI - failed to register the gateway key

$

Hello, I am using a trial of Power BI to see how it works. For this I need to set up a Gateway in order to connect with a data source (as usual for every normal users).

I am following these steps:

  1. Go to Gateways
  2. Click New Gateway
  3. Name it and everything
  4. Enable cloud credential
  5. Click next
  6. Download the Data Management Gateway and install it
  7. Copy the gateway key
  8. Past it in the DMG
  9. Click register

And now here comes the problem, I get the following error: 

failed to register the gateway key. Check that the Data Management Gateway is in a 
Connected state and Data Management Gateway Host Service is started, before trying 
to register the gateway key again.

Now I know what it says, check that the DMG is connected and DMG host service is started...

But I assume when you start DMG it is connected and I have no idea how to check that host service.. This error I cannot find anywhere on the internet and the Tech Support is always busy so I cannot reach them. I have no idea what to do so I hope one of you could help me, which would be great:)

Oh and btw... Power BI is a Office 365 product right? That also confuses me a lot because nowhere I can just select Power BI
