More information required. How can the application know that it is running in another/more PCs? Are all these PCs connected through LAN or Internet?

No,the application does not use the internet.

The original version of this question was closed because it didn't make any sense at all.

If you're asking how to copy protect your application, you really can't. ANY copy protection code you put in can be defeated. Major companies have spent billions of dollars on the problem over the decades and none were ever successful in solving the problem.

At best you're going to make it a pain in the ass to either install your application, license it, or use it, all of which will just turn customers off to using it.

can I use the material information such as the serial number of the motherboard or @mac
in order to specifies the only machine that can use this application ?

Not really. First, there is nothing that says a manufacturer must supply this information to WMI. Second, it can also be changed.

There really is no method to protect your application that is completely secure.

yes of course can not have an application 100% secure but if can use the wmi please give me a solution. thanks

I already told you, WMI is not the way to go.

so what is the solution ?

A little Google goes a long way: C# application licensing[^]
