Maltego Evidence should also start without errors in virtual machines. However, it should be ensured here that the system requirements are met to ensure smooth functionality.
It is important to note that Maltego Evidence desktop must not be started twice on the same virtual or physical PC (e.g., with multiple user accounts), as port usage could affect the other user.
If you plan to do so, we recommend installing the Maltego Evidence Enterprise version. Otherwise, it is technically possible to manually adjust the ports for each user using the conf.yaml file.
However, this is not possible in an automated way. If you need non-overlapping ports, please get in touch with our support, and we will find a solution together.
