FAQ
Common questions
Studio product, accounts, editions, and downloads.
What is AthenaDB Studio?
A cross-platform desktop operator console for AthenaDB — and a multi-engine DBA workstation with native paths for Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MariaDB. It is Early Access / pre-GA; signed multi-OS installers are not generally available yet.
Is Studio a drop-in replacement for SSMS?
Studio is built to be an SSMS-class — and ultimately SSMS drop-in — console for everyday Database Engine work. Full SQL Server drop-in parity is a gated milestone and is not claimed as met yet.
Do I need a separate Studio account?
No. Use the same AthenaDB account as athenadb.app. Register or sign in here; the identity directory is shared.
How do edition unlocks work?
Studio unlocks ride your AthenaDB license edition (Community → Studio Core, Professional → Studio Pro, Enterprise/Trial → Studio Enterprise). The licensing edge at license.athenadb.app remains the source of truth; Studio reflects it.
Where do I download installers?
From the Download page. Artifacts are published under downloads.athenadb.app/athenadb-studio when builds are available. Until signed installers ship, treat Studio as a developer/pilot surface and use the AthenaDB CLI for supported public management.
Where is the Help documentation?
This site hosts the full operator Help center at /docs. The desktop app should open the same URL from Help → Online Help.
How does Studio relate to AthenaDB?
AthenaDB is the engine and platform (athenadb.app). Studio is the desktop console for operating AthenaDB and other engines. Both sites link to each other; licenses and trials are shared.
How do I become a partner?
There is one AthenaDB Partner Program — not a separate Studio program. Apply at account.athenadb.app with a Partner workspace, or start from /partners. Program details and tiers live on athenadb.app/partners. Early Access — not a GA partner network claim.
What incentives exist for partners?
Deal registration, wholesale pricing (Authorized+), NFR/demo labs, enablement, and Premier co-marketing/MDF — summarized on /partners/benefits with full tiers on athenadb.app. No affiliate cash payouts or white-label domains in v1.
