I'm not familiar with the software but if it is designed for Windows it will not work with MacOS, they are 2 completely different operating systems and use different software architectures. Your best option would be to contact the software supplier to ask if a MacOS version is available.

VM on Mac

If it is software for Windows only, it seems likely that you could run Windows in a virtual machine on the Mac and put the software in it. You would need a Windows Licence I think. Not sure if Free VM tools can do this or not.

Google windows vm on mac

This article seems good and lists both Free and Paid options.

I would think so. I have little experience of VM software as it came along in strength as I got out of heavy duty IT. I have even less experience of Mac's.

The VM stuff though just works. It's astonishing. Depending on your IT experience/handiness you may run into trouble with things like network access and/or disk/file or printer access. I don't have enough VM experience to accurately foresee potential issues.
