I'm not versed in the formats you can save to, so you might still need a format conversion program for your particular need.
I have downloaded the software and it only allows you to save to its own format which is Ss1. I could not figure out how to convert this to a format that can be recognized by a bernina embroidery machine. I did email the owners about the new version but not heard back from them.
