I would say nobody knows.

If i buy license today is it lifetime license for software ?

If you buy the owned license, you own the software for a lifetime, but your get support and updates for a year, then you can renew for a much lower price to continue to get updates and download newer versions.

How much time i am able to get updates for the software ?

1 year.

Do i have to keep " Powered by vBulletin™ " In the footer After buying and installing ?

Yes, unless you purchase the branding-free option, which I think is $170.

I believe you are incorrect on points 2 and 3. My understanding is that you will get updates until Version 5 comes out.... most likely more than a year. What you are describing is the old licensing model where you had to renew every year. There is no longer a renewal.

I was under the same opinion mccollin

Mccollin is indeed correct. Th old vBulletin 3 terms stated that an "Owned License" is yours to keep, with updates and support for a year. This is no longer true.

Now, purchasing vBulletin 4 is a one-time-only thing; you receive updates for the lifetime of the vBulletin 4 Series, until vBulletin 5 takes its place. At that point will you have to pay to receive further updates. This replaces the need to renew the license every 365 days.
