i think the trick is to install it on the new machine and then once that 
license.dat file is generated replace it with the one from your other 
machine.

One other person I know of had the same problem.

If trashing it, doing an install, selecting register later, closing CW 
and replacing the license.dat file does not solve this write directly to 
me.

This is not tied to any machine so it should not require a second 
license but even if Metrowerks goes away, Freescale will remain as will 
the licensing department. 

I hope that alleviates your concerns.
