I recently purchased an upgrade of our vSphere licenses to Enterprise Plus with Operations Manager. This should entitle us to running Operations Manager in Enterprise mode, however that is not happening.
There doesn't seem to be a separate version of the vApp either, which has me wondering if I've misunderstood the "vSphere with Operations Manager" concept and we are infact not entitled to the full product after all?
The status page says:

All editions of vSphere with Operations Management (vSOM) include vC Ops Standard. So, even though you have vSphere Ent Plus, your entitlement is displaying correctly for vC Ops.
Are you sure that it includes vCops Enterprise? If I remember correctly this bundle includes vCops Standard.
But I could be wrong, to be sure, check with your VMware Partner.

So the correct name for the SKU should be: "vSphere Enterprise Plus with Operations Manager Standard" ? Interesting that they chose to swap things around like that then.
I honestly don't know, but I don't think there is a "vCenter Operations Manager Enterprise Plus", only Foundation, Standard, Advanced and Enterprise.
There is a vCenter Operations Suite however.

Yeah, you seem to be right. But I still haven't been able to find a single product description which actually states this, and the actual naming of the SKU strongly implies that the feature editions of the two products are linked.
