Why? It's common practice, in some dealers/networks, to update the ECU to the latest valid software when doing a service/warranty work. If they do this as they see you're on older software, some would say they're being nice

The ECU license is indeed downloaded digitally when you do an EcuTek update. If he's using your equipment to do it you would get the license applied to your dongle ID. If you flash your car it will know there is a license on the ECU and a comment in the flash box appears with something like "Flash will not consume a license." The license would be used up on the next ECU that you flash that does not have EcuTek on it.
