Cool, so you have satisfied yourself that you are licensed to use the G.729 codec and not get your ass sued by the IP holders. Now you can simply use the no-license-required codecs from here... http://kvin.lv/pub/Linux/Asterisk/ I've tried using these codecs in the past, but usually ended up

Digium did acquiesce and allow me to relicense the codec today, essentially they asked me how any times I would like to be able to re-license, so I believe that they are willing to work with the players once they can confirm their authenticity. They have a strange licensing scheme and I cannot

I have been impressed with the quality and meagre bandwidth of the G729 codec from Digium. I am in a testing phase of our roll out, we are using 5 Asterisk PBXs in various countries to provide connectivity for our employees, owners and family. As we are testing, and our setup is somewhat complex

I realize they have piracy problems, but that's their problem. I paid for the codecs, and I think I should be able to use them. People who are avoiding the licenses don't call you up to tell you. I don't mind having to call and let them know why I need to re-register, but I did not expect to be

Digium has to make sure they dont give out licenses when they should not. (according to their licensing of the codec). In your case, i suspect they lost track of the ticket, i suggest you just call them with your ticket number and they will resolve this quickly. Zoa. Chris Mason (Lists) wrote:
