Microsoft's DRM solution runs on Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows 2003 server. It is a standalone application that does not come with any of the systems by default. To install it on a system you must license an SDK from Microsoft by faxing in some forms. Additionally you must obtain a Verisign Code Signing Certificate (costs around $300 US) and electronically submit an application for the toolkit.
After all that you wind up with some COM dlls in an installer you can install on your boxes.
Next step is learn how to use the SDK via ASP/ASP.NET/C# programming to encode your files and then issue licenses. (Not for the feint of heart).
So not free, and doesn't come by default with any setups.
Go with a DRM provider unless you're planning on some heavy duty DRM work and want some grey hair.
And as a shameless bump for my own DRM service click on my sig.
