asterisk users - Dec 2004 - Out of G.729 Decoder Licenses!

Hi guys,
I got 2 licenses of g.729 and while running the asterisk with Monitor
(for recording a channel) and using one channel for the call... I
receive this error:
WARNING[23826]: codec_g729.c:180 g729tolin_framein: Out of G.729
Decoder Licenses!

many times....
it starts only when the call through the Zap channel takes place.

while this error is being running on my screen I ran the cli command:
show g729 and got:
0/2 encoders/decoders of 2 licensed channels are currently in use

when monitor is disabled, on the same situations I get:
1/1 encoders/decoders of 2 licensed channels are currently in use

1. why is it using the g729 for the monitoring while it's on the server
itself?
2. why is it using the g729 for placing a call through the x100 (zap
device) that is on the computer?

Hello,

I have SIP and Asterisk. On Asterisk I have 2 liscenses of g729 (from digium
website)
SIP user (100) is calling another SIP user (101).
As 101 is not online, my SIP server is redirecting that call to Asterisk.
Asterisk forward it to 101's voice mail box.

SIP user 100's phone have g729 codec. I havn't buy any codec for SIP
server
itself.
But when 100 reach at 101's voice mail, I get this:

Aug 18 18:31:36 WARNING[14511]: codec_g729.c:180 g729tolin_framein: Out of
G.729 Decoder Licenses!

I didn't get it.
Would anybody please explain it.

Thanks,

Matthew, thanks for answering me.
I think, I have found the problem.
Yes, the 2 liscenses was intalled.

If I make a phone call from SIP phone, asterisk use 1/1 encoder/decoder..
If I make a call and asterisk forward to voice mailbox..  just before it
starts recording voice mail, it use 1/1 encode/decode.. but right after
recording voice mail, i start getting that liscence violation error. May be
I need more channel. And I need to understand 'channel' properly..
Would anybody please explain on channel.. when channel number increase based
on uses, link, interportaion.

Thanks,
