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.<br><br>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. <br>
<br>It's the same one that Digium use for their G729 codec:<br><a href="http://downloads.digium.com/pub/telephony/codec_g729/README">http://downloads.digium.com/pub/telephony/codec_g729/README</a><br><pre> "It is extremely important that you backup all of the files located in the<br>
/var/lib/asterisk/licenses directory. This directory contains the Host-ID<br> specific license files for your system. *****These license files are tied to the<br> MAC address of all the ethernet devices installed in your system*****. Creating a<br>
backup of this directory will allow you to restore your G.729 license file<br> in case you need to reinstall your operating system. This will help prevent<br> the need to contact Digium to request authorization to increment your G.729<br>
key and from needing to purchase a new G.729 key if you exceed the maximum<br> number of G.729 key increments allowed."<br></pre>(That doesn't mean you can use Digium G729 licenses on FS btw - you can't).<br>

</div>I have no way to confirm this with other vendors, but it sounded like this<br>
only applies to a G729 license bought from FS.<br>
