Does anyone know of if it's possible to transfer configuration from one device to another running same software version ?

yes, it is. you can use "no-license" and "no-platform-check" when restoring. if there is any error, running "tmsh load sys config" will show what wrong is.

root@(VIP4800-R78-S28)(cfg-sync Standalone)(/S2-green-P:Active)(/Common)(tmos) load sys ucs test.ucs ?
Options:
  no-license         This option mostly is for RMA use. It loads full configuration from a UCS file except license file.
  no-platform-check  Bypass platform check.
  passphrase         Passphrase for (un)encrypting UCS.

    Thank you for the tips I tried the command this morning on our new F5 appliance and it worked. The only problem is - now I can't log in. So my question is this: Does the the command "load sys ucs test.ucs no-platform-check" over written the old user/passwd files ?
