It does, but if you're only upgrading asterisk but not changing any hardware, there's no need to reregister anything. In my case I just wanted to make sure that the registration wasn't going to write somewhere read-only (say /usr/lib) or in a ram-disk (in my case /etc). It's in /var/lib/asterisk which I have as a real disk... Even if you can reregister each time, it easier to remember the actual licence than it is to remember the key and reenter manually each time. -- Martijn van Oosterhout Ecomtel Pty Ltd ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

[Asterisk-Users] How does the g.729 registration program work?
I'm asking because I'm planning to install multiple machines from the same image and I need to know what file(s) I need to backup/restore to make sure I don't lose my licences in the process. The only options I can think of are: - There's a config file, though I've seen no mention of it - The actual binary shared library is modified - The system contacts Digium every time you start asterisk In the last case nothing is changed at all and I'm fine.
