A method and apparatus for cloning contents of a source radio (104) into a target radio (106) are disclosed. The method (300) includes determining (302) a configurable flash-code (210) of the source radio. The configurable flash-code (210) is configured from a first purchase flash-code that represents a first set of features employed by a user associated with the source radio. The method then includes receiving (304) a second purchase flash-code (212) from the target radio. The second purchase flash-code (212) represents a second set of features purchased in the target radio. The method further includes determining (306) whether the first set of features associated with the configurable flash-code (210) is at least a subset of the second set of features associated with the second purchase flash-code (212). The method then includes cloning (308) the contents of the source radio into the target radio, when the first set of features associated with the configurable flash-code (210) is at least a subset of the second set of features associated with the second purchase flash-code (212).
