greenUniverse
As soon as there are at least two greenMachines in the same network, they will form a
virtual cloud, which we refer to as “greenUniverse.” This cloud enables the greenMachines
to share and transfer information, such as your licensed Constellations or stored
images/patterns in the TESTOR constellation.

When you purchase constellations, they are available for the entire greenUniverse.
Purchasing a constellation from LYNX means you have purchased one instance of the
constellation that can be used on any of your greenMachines at a given time. If you need
to use several instances of the constellation at the same time, you will need to purchase
additional constellations. If, on the other hand you want to use a constellation at several
different points in your greenUniverse and at different times, you will need only one
instance of a constellation.
A simple example of this is the TESTOR constellation. Although you may need to have a
generated test pattern at every output of all your greenMachines, it probably will not be
necessary at the same point in time. In this case, you can share one, or a few TESTOR
constellations throughout your Network, deploying it at will to the greenMachines needing
a generated output.
When you deploy a given Constellation to a greenMachine, the system will check if there
is an available instance in the greenUniverse. If so, this instance will be assigned to this
greenMachine. If not, you will get, as described above, watermarks on your outputs until
your purchase the required constellation.
