[Asterisk-Users]Unable to register license for G729 codec

[Kanuri, Seshu (Company IT)]

Firdosh,

Don't contact digium as you will look stupid. Read the error.

First of all read the 'Readme' file sent by digium when you bought the
codec.

You have to give the command with your license code as the parameter as
under:

 For Reregistration:
        > # ./register G729-1234ABCD
        > If you are registering a new key
        > 
        > or:
        > 
        > # ./register 1000FA-ABC123...
        > to re-register
       
Above is only an example. Use your key in place of the '1234XXX'

I am pasting what I have received from digium here:
