How to differentiate an install as part of a suite versus stand-alone

    I have 2 suites from Adobe, Technical Communication Suite and Creative Suite. Both install an entry in Add-Remove that says the suite's been installed but it also adds an entry for each of the individual apps that are installed via the suite activation key.

    In the Asset Management module in v6 the solution was to build 1 collection for the suite entry and another for the individual app entry. Then modify the individual app collection to exclude the suite collection, in effect saying show me everyone that has the app and is not already in the suite collection.

    In AMS 7 you can only associate a component to one product at a time so I can't see away to point to both products. These suites are being installed by the departments that use them which means I don't have the ability to get the individual apps' Add-Remove entries modified to show they are part of the suite.

    Is there a way to do the exclusion in 7? Or some other option?
