That's good to know. We're getting ready to open up for iDevices and are looking at MDM. We're not planning on allowing any personally owned devices, at least not yet...but we all know how things change, right?

With that a lot of phone activations with personally owned and branch owned devices. Our BBs went from about 60 to about 75 or 80. Our Android, iPhone and corresponding tablets went from 0 to about 220. In fact, we had branch users who were using BESX and switched to Android just to avoid paying the BES data plan. The CALs were coming out of our budget. We are using hosted MDM, and paying per device per month. Buying CALs for Fusion is looking like a very attractive alternative right now. -- Art Alexion Systems Engineer -- Infrastructure Engineering Group Resources for Human Development On 3/2/12 10:55 PM, "Darhl Thomason" <darhl.thoma...@papamurphys.com> wrote: >No worries on the names Art, I won't hold you to them :-) > >I kind of figured the CALs wouldn't be transferrable, but anything's >possible, right? > >Thanks for the explanation on the components.
