I think that's correct. If a softphone connects to asterisk and only
allows gsm, and a polycom 500 were to connect to asterisk and only allow
g729, then yes, you'd need one license.
I cannot confirm, however, that my phones would negotiate g729 between
themselves if asterisk didn't allow it during the registration. Anybody
have any ideas? I assume they would, and you wouldn't need any
licenses. and as long as your phone could fall back to ulaw or
something, even voicemail/ivr should work. Due to network constraints,
fallback to ulaw may of course not be desirable...
Just to rant, I wish I would have realized this all a week ago. I only
have three outgoing phone lines, so should only need three concurrent
g729 licenses -- 'cause if my phones aren't calling out on pstn lines
they're talking amongst themselves...

are you saying that when asterisk is used only to connect two phones
using g729, then there is no need for a g729 license on asterisk?
by the same token, if asterisk was to be used to translated, eg g729
to gsm, then I would need the g729 license.
am I understanding it correctly?
