I recently updated my online machine to 0.92.3 and was wondering if there is any need, or there will ever be a need to update the software on my offline computer. I believe I'm running 0.90 on that one.
In the same vein, is there any reason for me to worry that my hard copies wouldn't work in the future? Say I put them in a safe deposit box and then died. Would my kids be able to use the same codes to recover my bitcoins in Armory 16.8.0 in 15 years?

It should always be backwards compatible but you should keep the old installers saved. But it's open source, anyone can make a tool to parse.
Now your offline must be updated I think after .90.1
Thanks for the quick response. So my paper backups should be good forever but keep old versions of the software just in case. Cool.
I just checked and I'm running 0.90-beta on my offline computer. You're saying I should be at version 0.90.1 or higher for compatibility?
Is this something that will need to be continually updated or it's due to a one time change?
Well the offline transfer protocol changed that's why it's needed. It was changed to add support for mutli sig. It shouldn't happen too often. You'll get a notification when you try to do an offline transaction. Try it without actually broadcasting.
OK thanks. I'm now stuck in dependency hell as my offline computer doesn't have the necessary versions of the libraries necessary and isn't connected to the internet. I seem to remember going through this last time.
Crap yeah you need to update to do transactions. But no rush unless you need to send.
, in addition I do not speak English fluently. So I apologize for being too simple questions and mistakes in advance.
