Mac Forum / Programming / CodeWarrior / May 2005

The version the company I worked for a couple months ago purchased a
version that did Windows, Mac Classic & Mac OS X, but I remember it
retailing something like $750.  I was under the impression that this
was the only Mac/Windows offering they had (although I could be wrong).

Of course you can look for copies sold by other people, but make sure
they include their license.dat files.  The way CW 9 worked is that
after you install, you had to enter a number into the Metrowerks web
site and it would give you a registration number you can key in to
activate CodeWarrior.  I doubt that the Metrowerks web site generates
these numbers anymore, so you would have to use an already created
license.dat file.  That is probably not a problem if you buy it from
someone who has already installed it and got their license.dat file,
but i would be concerned if you buy it somewhere that was still
shrinkwrapped, so no full registration number is available to you.

Maybe MWRon can fill in whether Metrowerks Support will still be able
to grant license numbers.
