It does not mean anything special. Simply that your Office365 domain currently only has 1 license available for assignment.

Go buy another license. it is pretty straightforward

This is highly unreadable, but jsut so you see what is available to buy..

What is the difference between the Small Business Suite and the Enterprise? For some reason i thought you could not mix and match.
I also seem to remember going with the Exchange Online because the "Small Business" couldn't support the hybrid type of setup I currently have.

It used to not be allowed. I have not had a need to purchase a mix so I do not know what happens at this time.

This is outside the scope of "what is purchasable" questions. This is a what is right for my needs question.

I guess what I mean is ... Office 365 Business Essentials looks similar to what I have, except it also has online versions of Office, and 1TB of ODfB. For $1 a month more.

My advice go for the Enterprise plans. As if later you want to move from Small Business to an E plan you will need to set-up a new account and transfer the data yourself. (it's happening to me now!)

We've seen that happen to a lot of people. Unless you are really confident in never growing to that size, avoid the non-enterprise plans.

Considering we have 15 employees, I find it hard to believe we'd grow to that size.
But I do remember not wanting the small business for some reason. So I might just stick with that.
The $5 a month plan just seemed like such a better deal.

Really no big deal to go with the SMB plans for a small company.
If you are actually growing large enough to need to go past that (from tiny like 15) then the expense of time to change will be worth it anyway.
This goes along with @scottalanmiller's normal spiel of not buying for the future in my mind.

15 puts us in the SOHO category!
Though it seems like that caps at 10. So we are in the reaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllly small SMB market.

I've learned we aren't even small business.

Well honestly, the S in SMB is no different than the S in SOHO. The differnce is mentality IMO.

It does, and when we are talking 15 people I agree. If we are talking 250, I'd be wary.

I have to admit, I never really gave any of the Office stuff much thought.
But this weekend, I started moving my files off my laptop and onto ODfP (is that an acronym?), and I just used it to get the output from MInt to this forum (via my PC).
I didn't realize, but with my OFfP plan I can also edit Office files. Pretty cool.
Though I currently Googling how to turn the "autosave" feature off. Sometimes I don't want to autosave something!

Interesting.
It does versioning. That is pretty cool as well.
And why haven't I been doing all this? LOL.

No idea! A major benefit in systems like this is often "using them as intended." That doesn't apply 100% of the time, but vendors like MS or Google go through a lot of effort to define how they feel a system should be used and they put some crazy research and effort into that.
