I suspect that you can't go from the current version to the latest, so it would be a massive job to export the current database, set up the new forum and then import the data - praying that the DB schema hasn't changed too much and the import script (if they exist) are up to the task.
Theoretically seems it's possible: https://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/upgrade. However, in reality it might not be straightforward: https://forum.vbulletin.com/forum/vb...r-3-8-4-to-5-x. The new version expects newer preprocessor language, database and library versions, so it will most likely end up a full server upgrade, before you get to upgrading vBulletin.
