How to protect my c# app by flash desk serail number ?

Well to be honest ... reverse engeneering your C# app takes about 5 seconds ... so why bother about any serial of a flashdrive ?

// add a reference to the System.Management assembly and
// import the System.Management namespace at the top in your "using" statement.
// Then in a method, or on a button click:
ManagementObjectSearcher theSearcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher("SELECT * FROM Win32_DiskDrive WHERE InterfaceType='USB'");
foreach (ManagementObject currentObject in theSearcher.Get())
{
ManagementObject theSerialNumberObjectQuery = new ManagementObject("Win32_PhysicalMedia.Tag='" + currentObject["DeviceID"] + "'");
MessageBox.Show(theSerialNumberObjectQuery["SerialNumber"].ToString());
}
