Yes, as far as I know there is no other way than using windows because the tool is only available there. I was lucky because I still have both Windows and Macos when I moved from my old stick to the Aoetec. You may ask the Aoetec support who are very supportive but I think they won’t have a macos proposal (Still worth a try though).
