PowerBI Report Server Costs

You need to have available cores with your SQL agreement available, but if you do, then you can install it on a machine or machine(s) with those number of cores.  So it isnt free - your company needs an active agreement in place and the number of cores available.  Microsoft usually goes through each year with Enterprise customers and does a “true-up” where it’ll count the cores in use.  If you have more cores in use than in your agreement, your company pays the difference.
