This feature (Media and Storage Extensions) is required when
using Backup and Media tools like BRMS. It allowes these tools to
proceed any tape activity (for example, to protect a tape against
initializing when the tool thinks the backups on the tape must be
preserved).

This is a chargeable feature of the OS/400 (option 18) so you have
to buy a license. (you can get a temporary 20 days key).

You could try to save this feature (using the SAVLICPGM option 18
command), delete it (using the DLTLICPGM option 18 command)
and restore ir (RSTLICPGM option 18 command). Not sure it will
restart the 70 days period. Or you could try to delete it, reinstall it
from the software CD, then reapply all its PTF. Again, not sure it
will restart the 70 days period.
