Thanks Steven,
Unluckily the ethernet interfaces are integrated into the motherboard and
even with with network cards the downtime for the swap will be unacceptable.

We plan to swap the production machine back in the future and we need to
swap them quickly so I think we should buy some more licences.
By the way: does anyone know how much is "limited number of times" ?
Just curious, as our customers will need licences too and I'm wondering if
we can buy licences in advance for them.

You'll want to stop the current server before installing the license on the

Shutting down or, at least, disconnect from the network the current server
is already planned in any case.

mod_com_g729 can be upgraded, but not while you have G729 calls running.

Ok, thanks very much !
