The Actian Zen v17 AI 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, you may wish to wait for the Zen v17 Workgroup Engine, due out some time in 2026 instead.
The Zen v17 AI Server Engine is available for 64-bit Windows or Linux platforms, and you can switch platforms and bit levels 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, 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 engine also comes with 1M AI vectors, and additional vectors are available through the Vector Increase licenses.
This Upgrade SKU's are valid for users who own a current Actian Zen database engine that you will be retiring. Please select the original version you are upgrading from in the line items below. (Standard upgrades are allowed from either Zen v15 or Zen v16 at this time.) You will need to provide the 9-digit Serial Number or the License Key of the engine as proof of ownership. Actian may also accept a copy of a previous purchase invoice in lieu of these two items, but any such copies must be submitted with your confirmation before we can process your order. Although you cannot upgrade UCI licenses, you are eligible to upgrade to the SAME USER COUNT, or to the NEXT USER COUNT HIGHER, as your existing engine. So, a 50-User engine can be upgraded to a 100-User Zen v17 AI.
