Your information is too summary to be able to tell...

If EPBX-1 and -2 do G729, and the (*) servers only pass it, then you won't
need additional licenses. Unless the (*) servers need to handle voicemail
from either side.

If the (*) servers have to transcode from any other codec *OR* from analog
or ISDN (uLaw/aLaw) then you'll need licenses allright...

Your best bet may be to contact Digium and give them all the details they
need to determine the correct # of licenses...

Good luck!
