The Actian Zen v17 AI Enterprise Server Engine is designed to host larger, multi-user systems storing data in the Microkernel format, also known as Btrieve. It is expandable to grow as your business grows. If you have fewer than 5 concurrent users and do not need this growth capability (nor 64-bit capabilities), you may wish to wait for the main fork Workgroup Engine to be released, expected some time in late 2026.
At this time, the Zen v17 AI Server Engine is available for only 64-bit platforms, but you can switch between Windows and Linux at any time.
This engine is licensed by using one "base" license
per server, indicating the number of concurrent users that will be accessing that server. Standard license counts are 6, 10, 20, 35, 50, 100, 250, and 500. You can add more users to an existing server with a
User Count Increase license (available in the same sizes). Each engine license can be installed to ONE server at a time. All workstations in the network get the free Zen Client installed and need not be licensed. The Vector database (for the AI components) support 1M vectors out of the box, and addition Vector Increase licenses are available in 1M and 10M packs when needed.
