I have never used more than one template on a site. With the introduction of 1.6, I wanted to learn how to utliize this feature and OMG!, I have had some fun with it.
This method brought to mind a serious question regarding entitlements I haven't seen anywhere else. BEFORE I continue, I want to make sure I'm legal with RT.
EXAMPLE:
I currently have a website that covers several areas of interest. I want to use different templates for different areas of the site.
Here's the example:
Let's say I have 6 entitlements.
I integrate 4 templates within ONE SITE
My guess is 5, as entitlements = the number of live sites you have running, regardless of the fact you are using one or ten (perish the thought) templates on one or all of your sites.
A team member might know better and hop in on this, but if you need quick confirmation, you could always contact support directly...
For those who may have this question in the future:
I contacted support directly. It's based on the "install." One Joomla install can potentially use all templates (example, people, not thinking about it, okay). It would still use only one entitlement.
In the above example, I would have 5 entitlements left.
Soooo, use all the templates you want within one site and you only use 1 entitlement. Using a sub-domain would use an additional entitlement as it requires a separate install.
