Hi there,
Here at my company we are willing to use the asterisk IVR system.
The problem we are having rigth now is that all our GWs use G729.
I've read that in order to asterisk be able to make transcoding from the GSM
audio files to G.729, it is necesary to purchase a license from digium. Is
this correct?
I've seen that licenses are purchased on a per-channel basis. Could we make
some sort of agreement on having a no-limit channel license? Even, we would
like to have the possibility of installing it on how many machines we wish to
do.
I am really in a hurry here. Please answer as soon as possible.

The patent holders would !@#$ kittens if you had no port limit or any type of control on it. That's why the control and registration processes are in place to comply with the patent holders requirements. So your request translates into "I want something for nothing". bkw

Yes this is correct, you need too purchase licenses, but the number of licenses you buy mast be proportional to the size of the cpu's processor you have.

Please answer as soon as possible. > >Yes - you can get g729 support but you have to pay on a per channel basis - If you have say 30 phones you could probably get buy w/ 25 licences. The licenses limit the concurent number of g729 sessions. We use g729 on our Cisco 7940's and it works great - I can get a clear conversation over single channel isdn - which was our goal. This is impossible using straight g.711. To purchase go here. http://www.digium.com/index.php?menu=asterisk_g729 -- Rock River Internet Roger Grunkemeyer 202 W.
