The answer given today is no. Fusion consists of three products as I understand it. BES/BAS, Blackberry Device Manager (Playbook and BB OS 10), and Universal Device Server (Android & iOS) "fused" together with a single management interface resembling BAS. Forgive me if I make minor mistakes in the names, but that's basically what they are called. Each has different, non-transferrable CALs. That is, they can be recycled as currently, but not moved from one type to another.
