Well I just checked, and Metrowerks is changing that very policy:

"Renew your license of CodeWarrior for Mac OS, Professional Edition 
or CodeWarrior for Windows, Professional Edition for just $249 (US 
$). If you develop for both platforms, you can renew to CodeWarrior, 
Professional Edition (COMBO), Version 6.0, which includes Mac OS and 
Windows tools for only $349 (US$).  Version 6.0 is  scheduled to ship 
in September, but you can pre-order your renewal copy today.

"Special Message to users of Version 4 or earlier releases of 
CodeWarrior: This is YOUR ONLY OPPORTUNITY TO RENEW. For a limited 
time, this renewal is available to you. After October 31, 2000, ONLY 
registered users of Version 5.x will qualify for a discount to renew 
their license to Version 6.0."

Bummer.
