I dont think we support that here.

You can always purchase the g729 license directly from digium itself. It comes with professional support. It will also benefit the asterisk community if you do that as it will give money to the company to continue releasing Asterisk as an Open source project.

As always, I recommend you to by the required licences, but for testing purposes you can try the following. Download the required so files, based on your platform, eg:

wget http://asterisk.hosting.lv/bin12/codec_ ... entium4.so
cp codec_g723-ast12-gcc4-glibc-pentium4.so /usr/lib/asterisk/modules/codec_g723.so
chmod +x /usr/lib/asterisk/modules/codec_g723.so

wget http://asterisk.hosting.lv/bin12/codec_ ... entium4.so
cp codec_g729-ast12-gcc4-glibc-pentium4.so /usr/lib/asterisk/modules/codec_g729.so
chmod +x /usr/lib/asterisk/modules/codec_g729.so

stop asterisk (from CLI: stop now)

and restart it by running:
/usr/share/astguiclient/start_asterisk_boot.pl

Check whether the codecs where loaded from asterisk CLI:
> show translation

Please port your results.

http://asterisk.hosting.lv

" DISCLAIMER: You might have to pay royalty fees to the G.729/723.1 patent holders for using their algorithm. "

do a cat /proc/cpuinfo to determine your CPU type for you to download the right g729 module for your server

then copy the .so file to your /usr/lib/asterisk/modules/ directory

then restart asterisk (basically kill the asterisk process and start it again, if you have trouble just basically restart your system)

if it doesnt work please refer to this:

http://asterisk.hosting.lv/#help

just the same as the real licensed g729 but a little more CPU than the licensed counterpart.

also beware that some consultants are using this free codec but let you pay the full license.
