I think this has been answered way more then once in the last six months
or so.

You'll need a license for each simualtanous g.729 session in use. Be
sure to think about users calling vm, etc.

Same answer. If no one is talking, no licenses are required. If you have
four simultanous conversatons, you need at least four licenses. Doesn't
make any difference if your own 1,000 Cisco cards.

Same answer. Read the words "simultanous conversations" in progress as
that is the number licenses regardless of what assets you deploy.
