What the main difference between Sql Server Enterprise Manager and Sql Server Enterprise Edition?

I think its a strange question but my problem now that I ordered from my organization to buy a license for SQL Server Enterprise edition, but after they made order I found that I only need SQL Server Enterprise Manager just to manage my DB during developing a asp.net website.

So can I ask the organization to return SQL Server Enterprise Edition back or is it impossible? And do I need to buy SQL Server Enterprise manager or there is a free version online?

Enterprise Manager is the SQL Server 2000 GUI client tool. No server side components. No database engine, no analysis services, no reporting services.

Enterprise Edition refers to the server side components feature level (has more than Standard, Workgroup). This is separate to the the GUI/client components.

Enterprise Manager has been replaced by "SQL Server Management Studio" ("SSMS") since SQL Server 2005. This can manage all editions
