Office 365 users versus email accounts
-
Thanks @alexntg , all user accounts were forwarded email accounts, so I deleted all the accounts except for mine and am ready to suscribe to either O365 small business or O365 ProPlus. Pro plus is $12/month and the other is $15 month billed monthly. I like the PP.
I just want to pay the least for the what I was using on the E3 trial, which was the web apps, Sharepoint, OneDrive for business, exchange and the desktop apps. I presume I have missed the verbiage somewhere that SharePoint is included in all subscriptions that include the web and desktop apps.
Also no where do I find anything about issues down grading from E3 to anything else.

It sounds like you're in an Enterprise tenant, which is good, as it allows you to have the most flexibility. Once you get the appropriate licenses, you just need to add them to the users and remove the E3. For thoses users that want the whole kit-n-caboodle including the full version of Office and Office Web Apps, they'd be on E3 at $20/month. For those that don't need Office Web Apps and already have Office 2010 or newer on their computers, They'd be set with E1 $8/month. For those just needing email, there's EOP1 at $4/month. For those needing just the full Office install, there's the ProPlus subscription, as you mentioned, for $12/month.

@alexntg Oh, so if I drop down from E3 to ProPlus, I loose the online stuff?

If you drop a user from E3 to ProPlus without EOP1 or E1, that user would only have access to the Office ProPlus install, no other services.

@alexntg Correct but those don't come with software.
O365PP looks really close to O365 Small business premium (which is not on the list).

Small business is a different tenant type, not part of the enterprise plans.
-
@alexntg Yeah...I finally figured that out. Man they sure have a ton of SKUs
-
Waiting to hear from Chris at Microsoft. Since O365 PP is a enterprise offering, according to the website it looks just like O365 small business premium.

Office ProPlus isn't the same as 365 Small Business. Small business includes Exchange, Lync, and SharePoint.
-
@alexntg That is what I needed to hear, O365 ProPlus has no Exchange, no SharePoint but according to the website, http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/business/office-365-proplus-business-software-FX103213513.aspx it had Lync.
I will just keep E3 so I don't have to change anything.

I really hate plans. Especially Microsoft ones. Why can't everything just be à la carte? It's the one area where I really prefer Google.

Everything is available a la carte with Microsoft. If you wanted to pick up Exchange, SharePoint, and Office, but not Lync, you can. Much like a combo meal at a fast food place, it'll cost you more individually, but it's completely doable.

Sometimes it works in your favor. For my personal domain, I ran EOP1 and Office ProPlus, for $16 per month. It was cheaper than E3, and made sense because I wasn't using Lync or SharePoint.
-
Well I started using SharePoint, but because of OneDrive for Business. And that is where my data is as well as my OneNote Notebooks.
-
Yeah, the combo thing is weird. I still do not know what plan gets OneDrive for Business or Sharepoint aside from E3 and E4

But.... Office 365 is a la carte and Google Apps is not. I'm confused

You hate that they save you money?
