Entirely up to your own versioning and establishing a connection to an external server.

If you distribute your script via aescripts & aeplugins (see https://aescripts.com/knowledgebase/index/view/faq/how-to-become-an-author/ ), their licensing system will take care of that for you.

If you want to implement such a functionality yourself, you need to have a webserver where you store a json file, for example, which includes the version number of the current version of your script. Then the script needs to download this file and compare the version in the json file with its own version. If it is older, it needs to notify the user that an update is available.

Then when you have a new version, all you need to do it updating the json file on your server and all users are notified.
