From the 11.1 Minor 6 release, the Manager facilitates the import of multiple licenses (SKU files in the .zip format). When importing multiple license files, if they contain any combination of pre-existing, expired, or invalid licenses, the Manager will skip those files with an appropriate Error message, and valid license files will be imported.
