Apex Mobile User License Explained

Last week, I was looking at the org. license details of one of our customers who wanted to see if they can use the mobile license.  They did not have mobile licenses or purchased any.  While looking Company Profile section of the Setup, I found that they had "Apex Mobile User" Licenses.  As this does not explain the difference between "Apex Mobile User" and "Salesforce Mobile" licenses, I contacted Salesforce and got a very clear and conscience explanation of these different type licenses

Apparently I was informed by SFDC that "Apex Mobile User" and "Salesforce Mobile" licenses are the one and same.  Apex Mobile User License have full support of mobile features of Salesforce.  This license can work on Visualforce, Page Layouts, Standard or Custom object of Salesforce.  Each users will have to enabled explicitly to enable them for mobile devices.

So, now that the customer has Apex Mobile licenses, their team can leverage these features.
