But you need a G729 license if you want to be able to send a phone that only uses G729 to voicemail, etc... Without tle license you have to make it use something else

You don't HAVE to use G.729, so you don't HAVE to get a G.729 license. You could use GSM instead. If you are just doing SIP to SIP G.729, and Asterisk is not doing any codec conversions, then you don't need a G.729 license.
