Human Generator Ultimate is completely free to download and use.
Human Generator Ultimate is listed as compatible with Blender 3.6 through 5.0, so it covers a wide span of releases across that range. If you are running a version inside those bounds, the add-on should load as expected. For versions outside 3.6 to 5.0, or to confirm behaviour on the newest builds, check the developer's page at HumGen3D.com for the current details before installing.
Human Generator Ultimate works with both Cycles and Eevee, the two render engines noted for this add-on. That means the photorealistic humans it generates can be rendered through either engine depending on your project setup. For specifics on how the results look under each engine, the demo video and the developer's page at HumGen3D.com are the best places to look.
Human Generator Ultimate produces rigged characters, so the humans it generates come with a rig rather than as static meshes. The add-on also includes hairstyles, clothing, expressions and a pose library, which are listed among its content. For deeper detail on the rig and how posing works, see the documentation, which is provided with the add-on and linked from the developer's page at HumGen3D.com.
Human Generator Ultimate is listed as free in this catalog, and it is distributed under the GPL license. The source lists separate commercial and personal or portfolio use options, and licensing terms can change over time. For the most current information on how you may use the add-on, along with any conditions attached to it, check the license info and the developer's page at HumGen3D.com before relying on it for a project.
