You launched CE to just speedhack some game. And another CE, with loaded cheat table and enabled cheats.

It looks like this:


And alt-tabing looks like this:





Form.Caption is the same.
Here is the code. It will set unique, more or less, application title:
Code:

processList = createStringlist()
getProcesslist(processList)

count=0
for i=0,processList.Count-1 do
  if (processList[i]:match('cheatengine%-i386.exe')) or
     (processList[i]:match('cheatengine%-x86_64.exe')) then
    count=count+1
  end
end

if processList and processList.destroy then processList.destroy() end

if count>1 then
  getMainForm().Caption = getMainForm().Caption..' ('..os.date('%X')..'  '..os.clock()..')'
end

getApplication().Title = getMainForm().Caption


Not it will look something like this:





When you launched second CE after bigger pause, first CE won't have changed title.


I just remember "launch time" and/or "execution time" (how long do you have to wait for GUI).
