[maxmsp] Max 5 license question

Hi,

I have a 9 month student license for max 4 which will be expiring in 7 days. I need a working copy of max so I have no choice but to buy the full retail version of max4. How will the release of Max5 effect me? Will I be able to get a discount on a Max 5 license if I bought max 4 right before the new release? I really don't want to pay full price for a student license, max 4 retail, and max 5 retail.
