G729 and any other codec should have a much better fail-over method.
Perhaps before sending or responding to an INVITE, a check should be done on the number of available licenses, and if there are not enough licenses to complete the invite, g729 (or the licensed codec if using something else) should not be supplied in the transaction as an available option.
It's not easy getting Asterisk into business environments when people ask about this and I have to reply, well, if you just buy more g729 licenses than you could possibly ever use on the busiest day of your phone system....
As for the comment below...

While in some cases, just not using G729 may be a valid option, there will ALWAYS be exceptions to that.
