I am curious - If I bought a real license would this still be true? Do you have to reprogram the FPGA always?

This seems counter intuitive to me. Once a part is programmed, you shouldn't have to reprogram it unless you change the design.

Reprogramming takes additional time and reduces the life of a part (even if it's very, very small).
