Use a licensing/copy-protection scheme - consider something like CryptoLicensing.

Are you talking about generating a serial number and give it to your customers so they can enter it when they install your application? Using "serial key" seems like confusing some members.
To generate serial numbers, you have to come up with an algorithm.
For example, you can generate a key based on today's date, add some part of your network IP, some your own hardcoded text and so on. Based on this algorithm, your Setup program or your exe has to look back for the same algorithm to verify if the serial number is correct.
Besides this, you can also verify these numbers from your server. This will require users to have an Internet and while installing or running (you choose when), application will connect to the server and verify key in your server database and if match found, continue.
Good luck!
