    First of all you should check with TSMC whether there are PVS decks available for the technology you're using. If not, there's no reason why you can't just use Assura - you can run Assura even if  you only have PVS licenses.

    There's no conversion route - it doesn't make a lot of sense to do that when you can use the tool intended for the original rule deck.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
