I'm not sure if I understand what you want to do.

What I read is that you want to use a USBasp (Google link to images) to program an ATMEGA 328, (looks like an Arduino board), with a commercial software. CodeVisionAVR

Why not use the free Arduino IDE? I'm not too deep into the Arduino world, but I think there is an easier way to program your ATMEGA 328.

I kinda see two scenarios:
1. They overwrote the Arduino bootloader on the chip and now can not load the program into the chip.
2. They have a second chip, but don't have the parts to build the basic circuit needed to get the chip running so that they can load the software onto the chip.

This shows how to connect external programmer to the ICSP pins of the ATmega chip that resides on Arduino Uno board: https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/installing-an-arduino-bootloader/connecting-the-programmer
