gebündeltes Software-Paket

It is terribly in, especially in computer-related fields, to introduce English words even when there is an equivalent German Term. Prithee, do not contribute to the anglification of the German language.
What they are talking about is, say, you have licensed MS Word; a bundled superset thereof would be MS Office or MS Office Pro. And remember, finding it on the Internet alone DOES NOT validate its correctness. Is Sun a harbinger of anglification?

I suggest "gebündeltes Software-Paket" or, for greater precision, "ein das lizenzierte Produkt enthaltendes Software-Paket".

Note that you will find about the same number of hits for "Softwarebündel" and/or "Software-Bündel" as you do for "Software Bundle" when you search Google for German results. Thus Google (or the Net) will not serve as the tiebreaker here. Let your conscience be your guide.

BTW "end-of-lifed" is not what I consider English either. "Retired" is the usual term.

agree Stefan Keller : oh, come on! It's not about how many German words there might be, it's about what people say. However, I agree that Internet hits are by no means a proof of correctness. I used my experience and only gave the link because the asker explicitly asked us to

agree Aniello Scognamiglio (X) : but I would rather say "gebündelte Software" (not -Paket, sounds slightly redundant). You are right that the *Net* cannot replace human experience and knowledge... in this case both "Software-Bundle" and "gebündelte Software" can be used.

Software Bundles

Würde das "superset" schlicht unter den Tisch fallen lassen.
Bundles ist ein durchaus üblicher Begriff. Siehe z. B. http://web.sun.de/promo_db/generated/category_3.html
Peer comment(s):

agree Aniello Scognamiglio (X) : "Software-Bundle" (Bindestrich!) ist IT-Fachsprache, Übersetzung ist dennoch möglich. Da der Text hier recht technisch ist, würde ich "Bundle" vorziehen.
