Yes. The g729 codec module requires a per-codec-instance license. In
your case you use a single codec for encoding the audio to G.729.

BTW: if this is a file you recorded, why convert it from gsm and not
from a higher-quality format? If this is from the stanard set of
prompts: any chance it is already available as g729?
