Hi

Yes, you need to get upgraded licenses whenever you go up a major (i.e. 6 to 7) or minor (e.g. 8.5 to 8.6) version.

Also see this page for hardware compatibility:

For your server, note (2) applies which suggests you may require a memory upgrade.

You only need a new license when you change major version (6.x -> 7.x, 7.x -> 8.x)

Minor upgrades (8.0 -> 8.6) do not need any license changes.
