GT Link Manager updates now come straight from WordPress.org. The plugin is 100 percent free, every feature included, and there is no license key to enter anywhere. If you’re reading an older tutorial that mentions license activation, this lesson replaces it.
Earlier versions were distributed from this site with a license system for update delivery. That ended when the plugin was accepted into the WordPress.org plugin directory: the licensing module was removed, all premium barriers were dropped, and distribution moved to the official repository.
How updates work now
GT Link Manager updates arrive like any directory plugin. WordPress checks the plugin directory on its normal twice-daily schedule, and new versions appear under Dashboard > Updates and on the Plugins screen. Click update, done.
If you prefer zero-touch maintenance, enable auto-updates from the Plugins screen: find GT Link Manager and click Enable auto-updates. The plugin is small and releases are tested against the current WordPress version before shipping, so auto-updating is a reasonable default.
If you bought an early copy
Nothing breaks. Sites running a pre-WordPress.org build keep working, but they no longer receive update notifications from the old endpoint. Replace your copy once: deactivate and delete the old plugin (your links live in their own database tables and survive plugin deletion untouched), then install the current version from WordPress.org. Your links, categories, and settings will be exactly where you left them.
The only destructive path is the “Delete Data on Uninstall” setting. Leave it off before swapping copies, and the swap is completely safe.
Tracking releases
Every version is documented in the changelog on the WordPress.org plugin page. Release highlights and bigger announcements land on the GT Link Manager product page.
That’s the whole story: free plugin, normal WordPress updates. Spend the time you saved on the hooks reference instead.
