Yes. You can use a standard feature in vBulletin called 'Paid Subscriptions' - there are also a few modifications that would allow you to do this.

there is paid subscriptipns in vb. but i dont know how to comminicate with vb and find out who is paid who is not with my tool. (this tool is windows based program not vb modification)

If your application can contact the server and fetch the usergroups the user is in, it can check if the user is a paid subscriber.
