I have an 8.1.42 server hosting a remote historian I was trying to connect an 8.3.7 server to the remote historian for query only, but I get an error message:

`Remote gateway does not have correct module or is not a compatible version for this service. Data cannot be synced to this remote gateway.`

the 8.1.42 and 8.3.7 have tag historian and historian core. the 8.3.7 server has java serialization on and the connection between the two servers have been accepted.

the inductive ask AI said that it would work but I'm pressing my doubt button and seeking non clanker answers
