[Freeswitch-users] mod_com_g729 - moving licences to a new server

[Steven Ayre]

Yes, it is specifically their G729 license implementation. They're required
by the patent holders to use some method to prevent you using the same
licence on other servers.

Other people will use various methods but many will probably go for the
MACs. It's a pretty common method that works on any OS.

It's the same one that Digium use for their G729 codec:
http://downloads.digium.com/pub/telephony/codec_g729/README

  "It is extremely important that you backup all of the files located in the

  /var/lib/asterisk/licenses directory. This directory contains the Host-ID
  specific license files for your system. *****These license files are
tied to the
  MAC address of all the ethernet devices installed in your
system*****. Creating a

  backup of this directory will allow you to restore your G.729 license file
  in case you need to reinstall your operating system. This will help prevent
  the need to contact Digium to request authorization to increment your G.729

  key and from needing to purchase a new G.729 key if you exceed the maximum
  number of G.729 key increments allowed."

(That doesn't mean you can use Digium G729 licenses on FS btw - you can't).
