asterisk users - Jul 2011 - AsteriskNow install addons despite license conflict with FFA and G.729

Hello,

We installed AsteriskNOW (Asterisk version 1.6.2.19) and purchased FFA and
G.729 licenses and installed them successfully.

When we tried to install asterisk addons (we need the CDRs), we get license
conflict error messages.

Searching google, we see that there's a way to force install the addons, but
that "way" isn't properly detailed, so we didn't manage to do
it.

Please help.

Thanks,

Michael

You don't need to install asterisk-addons to be able to store CDRs; you 
need them to be able to store CDRs in MySQL specifically. If you choose 
another database that doesn't have licensing restrictions that interfere 
with usage of non-GPL modules, then you'll be fine. Asterisk 1.6.2.19 
includes CDR modules for PostgreSQL and FreeTDS (Microsoft SQL Server), 
and also generic ODBC support which can be used to connect to MySQL if 
you wish.
