All depending on the species you have. Most octopuses only live to be 2 years old. But the Pacific Octopus can live up to a max of 5 years, more than many.

There are exactly 289 different octopus species. Here is some more information about octopuses and their different species: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octopus -GLOWSTICK.
*Octopuses* have a relatively short life span, and some species live for as little as six months. Larger species, such as the North Pacific Giant Octopus, may live for up to five years under suitable circumstances. However, reproduction is a cause of death: males can only live for a few months after mating, and females die shortly after their eggs hatch, for they neglect to eat during the (roughly) one month period spent taking care of their unhatched eggs. [Octopuses are highly intelligent,*** probably more intelligent than any other order of invertebrates. The exact extent of their intelligence and learning capability is much debated among biologists
Humans eat octopus in many cultures. The arms and sometimes other body parts are prepared in various ways, often varying by species. Octopus is a common ingredient in Japanese cuisine, including sushi, takoyaki, and akashiyaki. In Korea, some small species are sometimes eaten alive as a novelty food. A live octopus is usually sliced up, and it is eaten while still squirming. United Nations Farms
Octopuses are the most intellectual marine animals. They can memorize, mimic and solve problems in labs. There have been many cases in which octopuses escaped from their tanks. To answer your question correctly, the scientific name of the common octopus is Octopus vulgaris.
