# Why Does my New VMware Gateway Not Show Up for Authorization?

## Problem

When there is an existing VMware gateway authorized a new gateway will not show up for authorization even if the **pf9 installer** has run successfully on it.

## Environment

* Platform9 Managed OpenStack on VMware

## Answer

The existing VMware gateway will have to be completely deauthorized and removed from Platform9 before the new gateway can show up for authorization.
