1. can a license support sudomain? if I purchase 1 license for www.example.com, can I use it for www.abc.example.com?

Yes you can. The only rule is that only one copy of vBulletin must be running at any one time, bar the test board in the directory testvb or the like. You'd just enter the subdomain URL in the vBulletin member's area.

2. could I hack my hompage like this?

by deleting the boards and displaying the recent post by this addon, https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=134320

Yes you could.

3. as above, will any hacks on homepage affect my seo?
I edit the above layout through:
Styles & Templates >> edit template >> Forum home templates

Depends on what the hack does. Some hacks like vB SEO or Sitemap Generator will help SEO, and many hacks that add additional content will likely help it as well. However, some hacks may hurt it, but it all depends on the hack/modification in question.

4. there are so many versions, which version of Vbulletin should I install?

thank you so much =)

3.7 is the latest stable version, 3.8 is the latest version (on release candidate 2 I think). vBulletin 4 will probably be released quite soon in the future. Pick one, but don't pick an older version (especially not a far older version).
