[Asterisk-Users] Preserve g729 registration over reinstall??
I purchased the g729 codec from Digium. Every time I reinstall Asterisk (or Linux) I naturally lose the registration. Digium only allows one reinstallation without calling them which is a nusance for both them and me. Is there any way to preserve the registration across a reinstall? Perhaps by backing up a directory or a file? Any help appreciated. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

So a re-install on the same hardware will preserve the MAC address, and therefore still only count as 'one' registration.... Says me who has registered once, re-installed once, and therefore could be quite wrong....

Good luck. -- Martijn van Oosterhout Ecomtel Pty Ltd

For the record here, I am quoting from an email from Digium on the subject: "You will need to backup /var/lib/asterisk/licenses. You will also need to backup the codec_g729 and format_g729 in your /usr/lib/asterisk/modules/ directory. The ethernet cards in your machine cannot be changed. Otherwise you will have to reregister your codec. If required you may reregister your codec. If you run into any problems reregistering, we will assist you on with that problem. Please refer to http://www.digium.com/index.php?menu=asterisk_g729 for additional instructions." Thanks to Digium Support for the prompt and thorough response.
