I think show channels will tell you if issued during a call.  Show
translation will show that the codec is loaded at least.

If you purchased one license and are forcing that codec, then it makes sense
that you can only have one call.  If you install the g729xxxx.so that can be
found on the internet, it will allow you to place as many G729 calls as you
wish for testing.  After you are satisfied (or unsatisfied) you can purchase
more licenses (or not) to legally use G729 with as many simultaneous calls
as you buy licenses for.
