I already have a fancybox 2 license. Do I need to upgrade it?

No. All licenses purchased before February 24st 2017 have been automatically upgraded to their current equivalent and no action is required by the license holder.

What is the main difference between Single and Extended license?

Single Commercial license allows you to use fancybox in one project (e.g, website, mobile app, etc). Cannot be used in salable software.

Extended Commercial license covers all projects made by you or one salable software (for example, one wordpress theme).

Can I use fancybox in product sold for multiple clients (for example, in theme sold on Themeforest)?

By purchasing ONE "Extended Commercial license", you are allowed to include fancybox in ONE product (for example: premium theme, plugin or template) for sale. Customers and users of your product do not need to purchase their own license — as long as they are not developing their own commercial products with fancybox.

Warning You are not allowed to create a product directly competing with fancybox. For example, you are not allowed to create a premium plugin whose main purpose is to bring modal/lightbox functionality to website.

Is this a one time payment?

All licenses are perpetual for the licensed version of the software: you can use them for as long as you like.
