From 11.8.5 onwards, it is no longer possible to import inappropriate configuration files.. As of version 12, only configurations from a UTM v11.8.x and higher are imported. If an older configuration file must be used, it can first be imported into a (virtual) UTM with version 11.8.x. From there, the configuration can be exported again and imported into a v12.
