No, you will need a 7.x license for the license to work with 7.x.

You don't necessarily need it for the upgrade, assuming you're going to upgrade directly and in the same maintenance window.

If you expect to start the services in that middle step which is 7.X then you certainly need to get a 7.X SW feature license.

If you don't want to get a 7.X license then try again the 8.X upgrade and then install your 8.X license.
