No. License keys, one-click updates and support come from the developer's own paid plans. To update, download the newer version here when it is listed and install it over the old one.

Can I use it on more than one site?

Yes. The GPL puts no limit on the number of sites, including client sites.

Why is it free?

During our launch every download that is available on GPL Store is free. Nothing is charged and no card is asked for.
