You can just reinstall those options. The only issue is that you will have
to be in a restricted state for these 3 options. This is a piece of cake to
fix, and will take about 20 minutes. Then, I would reapply the current
cumulative PTF package they have installed to make sure everything is in
sync for PTFs.

I ran into this a long long time ago.
With QGPL and QUSRYS anyway, the only way out was a backup and then a
scratch restore of the LIC, then restore the libraries, then continue
loading the licensed programs etc. Very long downtime. Check into it
carefully.

These are backlevel. I'll read up on the links. I bet they did a save
from
their old system and restored QGPL and Qusrsys.

Traditionally what happens in that case is that they got a new box at a
release higher than their old box and restored a few libraries and stuff
(screw the Backup and Recovery Guide) and got themselves into that
situation.

... To correct this problem, install a current release of this product.

I am thinking that you may get by with selecting "Replacing Licensed
Internal Code and i5/OS of the same version and release". What do others
say? Is there a concern, like an IBM internal file conversion that needs
to happed from, let's say V5R3, to V5R4 that won't happen if they select
this method?

After doing that I'd apply the latest cume, groups, and what not.

If you're doing this I'd also recommend going to V5R4M5 instead of M0.
This will make you readier for newer hardware.
In case your frisbees are old you may want to check for refreshes.

The M5 stuff is near the bottom.
