I guess that you run your own license server and your machines check the 
availability of one of your licenses there. At least thats how some 
other companies for e.g. TTS licenses do it.

If you are running a couple of servers and you don't know where your 
G729 calls will arrive then it makes sense to me.

If you run G729 only and have licenses for every line in your system 
then it obviously makes no sense. But if you have for example 1200 lines 
and 10% G729 users you never know if they are spread over all your 
server or all arrive on one machine.
