IMHO unregulated activesync is madness.

Confusing? Try licensing any Microsoft product at an enterprise level!
In all seriousness, you’re not being strong-armed into a Fusion CAL for
BlackBerry OS 10 devices as they will support ActiveSync out of the box much
like Playbook OS 2.0. Fusion will provide a better way of dealing with mobile
devices than unregulated ActiveSync connections.

OK, so:
BB10 = Fusion CAL
iPhone = Fusion CAL
Android = Fusion CAL
BB7 & below = BES CAL
Is that right? And if I have someone on a BB today using a BES CAL and they
move to an iPhone tomorrow, then I have to get a Fusion CAL, I can’t ‘transfer’
over the BES CAL?
Licensing is so confusing!

I went to one of their sales pitches about Fusion last month - Fusion server is
going to support BB10 phones, BES will not. So you need a CAL for Fusion for
BB10 phones, otherwise you need a CAL for the BES for older phones.
If I understood it correctly (and maybe I didn't, they weren't very clear)
Fusion is going to act as a central management point for various services:
Android, iOS, BB10, and BES (for older phones).

From the Mobile Fusion page
http://us.blackberry.com/business/software/mobilefusion/:
“To manage BlackBerry smartphones with BlackBerry Mobile Fusion, BlackBerry
Enterprise Sever v5.0.3 or BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express v5.0.3 is
required. Ensure your organization is taking advantage of the full capabilities
of BlackBerry Mobile Fusion by upgrading your BlackBerry Enterprise Server or
BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express to v5.0.3. Upgrade your BlackBerry
Enterprise Server before March 30, 2012 to take advantage of limited-time
offers.”
So I already bought a BES CAL, if I want to use Mobile Fusion for the people
that want to stay on BB instead of migrating to iPhone or Android I have to buy
another CAL for Mobile Fusion?
