Licencing - asset updates

Can someone tell me how it works with licences and asset updates?

For example, I have a custom plugin that is not on WP repository. When I have an updated version, how does this work?

Will my customers have to download the update and manually update in their site? Or will it somehow show in the plugin list that there is an update available?

And how do you send an email to customers when there is an update? Do I need to do that manually or is it possible to automate this?

TIA

There's a good video and also link to the updater documentation in this thread https://community.wpmanageninja.com/portal/space/fluent-cart/post/how-to-use-licenses

Tagging Donald McGuinnΒ as he implemented the licensing system for his plugins with FluentCart.

Just to follow up on this, the updater plugin works really well and even includes the interface. I've tested it for licensing and updates and the guidance is full enough to follow. https://github.com/WPManageNinja/fluent-plugin-updater-example

Ross FCAΒ thanks, but I'm not a developer. I just want to know what happens when an updated asset is placed in the licenced product, and how I can give notice to my customers

Have implemented the license update for Fluent Cart with numerous plugins.
