Do you like to live dangerously and deploy brand new software without the vendor's consent? Do you have some endpoints in your console that are checking in, but are not updating the version even though you're using the EXE version and updating is on in the policy?
 
If you send a command to download and run the following URL, it will update the endpoint to WSA 2014 and seems to fix any upgrade problems if a client is having them.

WSA 2014 is not released for large business users and there will be a newer version released when it's ready. But if you're itching to get testing started, and have some desktops that already have problems anyway, it's what I've done for a very small percentage of my client base after doing a manual deployment and finding no issues.
 
Many of Webroot's small business customers likely buy the consumer version, so it's not completely untested for the business segment. Consumer and business use the same client, it's just the management and added value services that hook in that are different. Your clients are still identified as business machines.
