NOTE
The same instance of Microsoft SQL Server can host both the SSRS
database and the RSBizWare database. However, only one instance of
Microsoft SQL Server is licensed with a FactoryTalk Metrics server.
Therefore, if you want to distribute the two databases across two
different computers, you must acquire an additional Microsoft SQL
Server license.
