Will s2 allow charging a fee for using a premium theme?

[philesq]

I am using a WordPress multisite installation and would like to offer a free membership and a premium membership. The free membership would have access to some themes and some plug-ins, while the premium membership would allow using premium themes and additional plug-ins. Will s2Member do this?

It definitely does, take a look at this video:

Thanks. I was hoping to be able to do it myself. I might be able to but I'm not sure. Do you have an estimate of the amount you would charge? I was looking at Pro Sites from WPMUdev which looks very simple to use without writing any code. Do you know if s2 works the same way or will in the next version?

Well over at http://s2installs.com/ everyone is very experienced and don't charge so much.
I recommend that over something so small you stick with s2Member, it really is the cheapest and you can't deny that.

s2Member doesn't control plugins and themes available to child blogs in a multisite network. It controls how many blogs the user gets depending on his level in the main blog of the network.

There are ways in which you may control the plugins and themes, but require other multisite plugins. This thread goes into that and you may find it helpful: viewtopic.php?f=36&t=1414

I hope it helps.
