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.
