Description:Upon testing the g.729 licenses in our lab we found the following issues in a plain SIP environment:
1.  When g.729 licenses are used in leaving a Voicemail, they do not get released upon clearing the channel.
2.  If the voicemail.conf has options for 2 format types (ie. wav49 and WAV), it consumes 2 g.729 licenses.

I have the g729 codec installed - the command

maui*CLI> g.729 show license usage

just brings up an error.

ASTERISK*CLI> g.729 show license usage
No such command 'g.729' (type 'help' for help)

I would suspect your codec is not even working then.  That command is only enabled once you register the codec.  Do a help to see if the command is there:


maui*CLI> help g.729 show license usage
Usage: Show how many licenses of G.729 codec are in use.

I can confirm that this is in fact a reproducible problem when using VoiceMail2 and G.729. A detailed error report was sent to the developers list and I can put a copy here if anyone wants it...

This is fixed in a recent CVS.

Scarycat: you have an old binary installed that doesnt have that command. Download a new_codec_binary from ftp.digium.com. Notice that you DON"T have to use Registraion to reregister .... this has to be done only once!

The licenses are released. However if you record mail using 2-3 file formats it's going to take 2-3 g729 licenses. So the best way is to choose one format to save the voicemail to.
