Hi all, I have purchased 2 licenses of G729 from digium and has done the registration. It works well and is quite fine with my Asterisk@Home. Just want to clarify some licensing issues regarding them. If i had to do a full reformat of my PC and reload a@h again will i be able to use the licenses again without re-registration? If no. .Is there are limits for this? Please anyone clarify. Thanks Dan -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It is quite easy to change mac addresses and will not cause problems as long as the machines are on different networks, segments, broadcast domains. -----Original Message----- From: Olivier Taylor Sent: Sat 1/28/2006 8:58 AM To: 'Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion' Cc: Subject: RE : [Asterisk-Users] G729 Commercial Licenses. I have 25 licences here, u will have the possibility to Re-register once in case of failure, even if your mac-addresses are different. After that, they will ask you some explanations.

The unique G.729 license file which is located in your /var/lib/asterisk/licenses directory is tied to the MAC address of all the ethernet devices installed in your system.
