Hi,

If you already have licensed Exchange 2016 installed in the environment, and for CU23 it is not required or for any patches or updates.

Read the Pre-requisites for CU23 on Exchange Env - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/Exchange/plan-and-deploy/prerequisites?view=exchserver-2016

If you want clarification on licenses check this - https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/microsoft-365/exchange/microsoft-exchange-server-licensing-licensing-overview?rtc=1
