The debug command helps locate how many instances of a certain product are in use, this works by entering rlmdebug followed by the product license you wish to debug.
Example:
The following example debugs your nuke_i licenses on port 4101 on the ISV server named foundry:
rlmutil rlmdebug nuke_i -c 4101@<hostname>
rlmdown
Function:
This allows you to shutdown the license server by entering rlmdown followed by the server you wish to shutdown.
Example:

Example:
The following example shows how to find your System ID:
rlmutil rlmhostid ether
rlmnewlog
Function:
Rlmnewlog helps to rename an existing log file from your ISV server. Please note, that this will fail and an error will show if the license server is not currently writing a report log.
