If you proceed with the patch, no need to update the license. but when you try to update major version you need to update license from Customer Connect(MyVmware).
Log in to Customer Connect > Select either Products and Accounts >Account > Manage Licenses > Select one license key folder > select Upgrade > Select the quantity of licenses you want to upgrade > Continue
ESXCLI command can use on any ESXi host not depending on the license type.
