I'd defintely have to agree that if the products in the "suite" are the same versions as the standalones that If the standalone is Declude 3 then the "Suite" should be "Declude Suite 3", or "Declude Total 3", etc.... I think the biggest reason for the confusion in the first place was the introduction of a new "version" to indicate a bundle of products.

Name Voting Time I agree with everything except the final outcome. I think SUITE should be the winning choice. Declude Suite X with the x being the current version. This would differentiate this product from the individual declude products and should have the same version that the individual products have at the moment.
