Used Greenbone Enterprise Appliance version: (check via the About menu entry)

Hi Everyone,

We are currently evaluating your products and have deployed the trial version using the OVA file from the following link:
https://files.greenbone.net/download/delivery/website-trials-22.04-abdk-greenbone/Greenbone-Enterprise-TRIAL-24.10.2-VMware-Workstation.ova

The installation was successful, and we are able to use the system. However, we’ve noticed that scan performance is relatively slow. Upon further investigation, we observed that the system appears to be limited to 4GB of memory usage, even though the virtual machine has been allocated 16GB.

Does anyone experience the same issue and how to resolve it?

The Greenbone Enterprise TRIAL appliance is indeed limited to 4 GB RAM, as it is intended as a very simple demo system only. Our commercial appliances have higher limits: https://www.greenbone.net/wp-content/uploads/solution_overview_en.pdf
