I have an issue with SSRS 2016 licensing I do not quite grasp. The initial install of SSRS is licences free with the SQL Installation. If I want to install say another 10 SSRS Instances on the same VM and use these SSRS instances on the installed SQL Instance as Reporting Databases for different databases, what are the licensing implications?
We are doing this in our Dev environment and want to find out if this will be acceptable in a Production environment

SSRS is not free - it is part of the SQL Server license you bought.
From a licensing point of view you can install as many instances as you wish on the same server you have SQL Server Licensed for - but probably a waste of resources to have multiple instances - all depends on why you need them.
Do be aware that as it stands and if you intend in going to 2017 there seems to be an issue and only a SINGLE instance can be installed on a server - I may be wrong but just a word of caution just in case.

Different Companies need them so the question to we go with a single Reporting instance with complicated User setups or Multiple Reporting instamces
