Answer


Yes, it is possible to transfer licenses from a production device which is in a Group to a spare device which is in the Main account as long as the source and target devices are of the same model. 
As long as the source and target devices are of the same model, the spare devices from the Main account will show up also in the Transfer License popup among the Available Destination Devices when the license transfer is initiated on the production device in a Group (the spare device does not need to be in the Group for the successful license transfer).

The license transfer from a production device in a Group to a spare device in the Main account will not automatically move the target device to the Group. It has to be moved there manually: Group > Add Device to Group.
