One can exercise treaty rights in various ways. Employment is one. Self sufficient (living off saving/partner earnings) is another. See more Residence documents for European nationals. You don't need to inform the HO about change in the EEA activities.

If your wife worked for 5 continuous years in the past and didn't leave the UK for more than 2 years afterwards, she has obtained PR. if she wish (optional), she can apply for confirmation using form EEA3. If she had obtained PR, then she is not required to exercise treaty rights in order for your residence to be considered accrording to the regulations. In any case, you don't need to apply again.

If she wishes, once she has worked for 5 years in the UK, she can apply for a confirmation of her status as a permanent resident. The application form to use is EEA3.

Whether she applies for it or not, it will not have affect on your Residence Card. As long as she can prove that she worked for 5 years, you are covered regardless if she applies for EEA3 or not.

If she does apply for EEA3, then when you have been resident for 5 years and apply for PR yourself, she doesn't need to show evidence of employment but can use instead the PR Confirmation received following the EEA3 application.

Also PR Confirmation can be useful as proof when applying for British passport for future children (as children are British from birth if born in the UK to a parent who holds ILR/PR).

It is very likely that your EU spouse already has PR. Through some combination of working and studying and maybe being self-sufficient. It all depends on the details of the 17 years.
