I don't think it would require a specific law. They sell you the software, grant you a license that's not limited in time. So you have two contracts: a sales contract, and a license agreement. Neither are limited to a specific CPU; you are free to carry the software product from one PC generation to the next. If Coda stopped the software activation at some point in the future, they would a) void the original sales contract b) cancel the license agreement c) violate your property rights etc. This would be against all rules of trading. I don't know the specific laws in the U.S., but they're sure there.
