Answer:
Whole version databases use the same database format: v8.1 archives are the same as v8.3 archives.

You cannot restore a higher version module in a lower version database: a v8 database cannot restore a v9 archive.

You can restore a lower version module in a higher version database: a v9 database can indeed restore a v8 archive.

Can a Doors 9.0 Module be opened in v8.1?
No.

Can a Doors 9.0 module be opened in v8.3 ?
No.

Can an 8.3 Module be opened in Doors 9.0 ?
Yes, but then it can not be reopened in 8.3 as it is converted to 9.0.

Can an 8.1 Module be opened in Doors 9.0 ?
Yes, but then it can not be reopened in 8.1 as it is converted to 9.0.

Basically once a module is converted to a newer version of DOORS it can not be opened by an earlier version of DOORS.
