UPDATE: G.729 Codec Licensing *IS* Available
Greetings all, The FreeSWITCH team would like to let everyone know that we do indeed sell g.729 licenses for $10 each. Use this link to initiate a purchase: http://www.freeswitch.org/node/235 Note: licenses are available only for Linux-based systems at this time. Please stay tuned for updates. The INSTALL.txt file has very detailed instructions: http://files.freeswitch.org/g729/INSTALL.txt Keep in mind that a single license includes one encoder and one decoder, that is, it can transcode both directions of a single phone call. If you have any other questions please email us here or join us in #freeswitch on irc.freenode.net. -Michael
Can the licenses be transferred between computers? If I have a cluster of 5 freeswitch servers do I need to assign a set of licenses to each specifically? I know that if you get a bunch of Howler's license they sit in a pool, attached to one master computer, and your other computers can all use that pool of licenses as long as the master server is running (or has been running in the last week.) But they are tied to the mac address of that master computer. Cheers, Fraser On Thu, Apr 8, 2010 at 10:07 PM, Michael Collins <msc@freeswitch.org> wrote:

We debated this and concluded that in most cases in a server environment that it would be unwise to attempt this floating license scheme when it could clearly present scalability issues and most companies would not use g729 unless they had a serious business case for it and it seemed to be an overly-complex way to end up with dropped calls.
