How many licenses you have? Oh yeah, stick to what you know squid. The question was answered in the first sentence. It was on topic until you came long tuna. Er, I mean drayer.
Since you don't know, I was interviewing for multiple positions across multiple departments, hence the managers and vps from those departments. It had nothing to do with importance, but a license is very important to a utility, which you also don't know. The point, which you missed, was that typically a manager from the departments you'll be interviewing for will be there and my anecdote was to illustrate that it could be many.
