You're assuming that the main bugs preventing you from installing in a production environment will be fixed in the next release. 

I wish I had waited too but what is the alternative for a NEW live enviroment- I suppose ADNM and V4.8?

I think you can install over the existing installation, but we must wait for the release for other info.

Then you can deploy the new version on the clients

here the changes and improvements

List of changes and improvements:
• The Administration Console is now accessible to visually impaired users.
• Many UI improvements have been made across the whole Administration Console with the focus on large computer network management.
• The whole system installs itself in just minutes on modern hardware.
• The newly implemented messages keep the user informed about important events on the network.
• The Administration Console offers the option to restart a computer on which avast! is being remotely installed.
• The Administration Console supports boot-time scan scheduling on the client.
• The user is now able to perform custom installation of the client with manual selection/de-selection of components (i.e. shields).
• The ability to use a custom MS SQL database (including remote databases) has been dramatically improved.
• Many installation related issues have been solved.
• The user is now informed about new program updates of the Administration Console.
• Among other languages, the Administration Console now offers Traditional Chinese.

I have upgrade my BP on Windows Server 2008 R2 and login with Administrator privilege.

Upgrade not running perfect with all avast! administration console services status on start.

Alert message popup "Service 'avast! Administration Console' could not be stopped. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to stop system services"

Installation success after i stop the service manually and re-run the installation file.
