[Asterisk-Users] Prices of g729 codec

[Chris Mason (Lists)]

I have no problem with paying Digium the $10 for G729 licenses, everyone 
has to make money. It's the administration of the licenses that sucks. I 
experiment with different hardware a lot, and make up demo machines to 
install for customers with available hardware. I have to put G729 
licenses on them, usually $100 each time, and when I install the real 
hardware for the client, I can't transfer the licenses. If I scrap that 
machine or change the interfaces, that's a $100 loss. I believe when you 
buy a number of licenses, that should determine how many instances you 
can use, regardless of how you want to deploy them.
In short, the method of enforcement is poor and leads to resentment from 
customers. Surely Digium can construct a better system?
