How to disable the Powered by vBulletin? Version info

Without having to pay extra money, is it possible to have my footer vbulletin info which currently says

Powered by vBulletin® Version 3.7.4

Only say

Powered by vBulletin®.

From a security standpoint, I don't think publicly listing the version number is the wisest thing to do.

You can put it as

in the phrase manager.

I think you can disregard the version number as long as this sentence appears.

Then you probably also know security by obscurity doesn't work. Dont forget to change it in the CSS/Templates, adminCP login and i think thats it ;)

You forgot the calls to the js files and the meta tags. :D

That says it all. Also, removing all references to the version number is a tedious task for what it's worth.
