Client/server version compatibility

What are the rules on what version(s) of clients can run with what version(s) of servers? Is there backward server compatibility, for example, can an 8.3 client work with a 9.0 server? I'm sure this is documented somewhere, but I cannot find it. Thanks for your help.

The ReadMe files for each version specify this info - what version is the basis of your query?

There might be exceptions, but any DOORS vX client can work with any DOORS vX server, so a v8.0 client will work with a v8.2 database. A vX client will never work with a vY server.

Some bugs manifest themselves (again) when you do mis-match versions.

You can, and should, restrict version access via the Database properties.

I downloaded the linux package (server) for 9.0 ages ago, and it did not contain a readme with that information.. I can't look at any currently available packages as we are no longer under maintenance. The particular versions I have are 9.0 and 8.3 and I was wondering how to go about updating -- If I could do a phased update or if it was all-or-nothing. Sounds like if I want to move to 9 on the server, I must update the clients at the same time.

Thanks for you're reply.
