Celemony Melodyne 5 Studio v5.3.1.018-R2R

Pro Tools 12.5, Reaper 6.77
Windows 10 Pro 22H2

Road to trying to solve problem:
- Uninstalled, cleaned system folders & registry
- Performed clean install of v5.3.1

Results:
- Standalone version ran but, would not allow any changes to Preferences. Would go into non-responding mode (crash).
- Standalone version remained listed in Task Manager after laumching & closing without changing anything

- Pro Tools gave message that aaxplugin was not 64 bit.
- Before clean install was done, plugin would load but, not allow removal from slot crashing Pro Tools.

- Reaper loaded plugin but, had same results as Standalone version.

- Did another clean install with V.R. version. No change.

Solution for previous version 5 release:
- Did another clean install using Melodyne 4 v4.2.4.001. Able to change settings and, no crashes or hangs.
- Reinstalled Melodyne 5 v5.2.0.006. Setting from Melodyne 4 were present. Everything working as normal.


Melodyne 5 v5.3.1.018 Reinstall:
- Pro Tools loads plugin but, gives the following messgae...
"The plug-in could not be mad active because a AAE error was enencountered.
AAE error-7054 was encountered."
- Pro Tools exited normally. No crash or hang.
- Removed version 4 AAX & gotmessage that aaxplugin was not 64 bit again. Pro Tools crashing/hanging.

- Reaper loads plugin & exits normally. No crash or hangs. Even without version 4 VST3.

The sale of lots of softwares that we use from time to time, reminds me of when we bought the old Cds, DVDs, since only us musicians had the affection to keep it and say: " I bought it! I have it!", we took it to show and listen to it at friends' homes. But, most of the planet would buy it, listen to it just once and get bored quickly.
I remember when my brothers, family bought many to never hear again, it was fashionable to buy CDs. Today I see some software developers wasting more time protecting their software than anything else.

At the end of this century, the new inhabitants of the globe will send a simple 'small audio' on a page, which, in a few seconds, will separate all the tracks, say which guitar pedals are possible for each passage, will give the harp pedaling scheme, how to synthesize such sounds on the synthesizer, which Hammond drawbars are being used in each measure, and better, Leslie on-off, it will write the whole score with all the parts, piano and guitar as well as jazz soloists play, the bass, the drums, all big band, the backing vocals in three or four parts, including vocals with vibrato marks and the proper original lyrics, everything without mistakes, but, today, nobody has been able to do that yet, not even writing a sheet music with a simple bass line. I just hope I can see it get started...

...but, believe! the book industry, publishers, will sue these sites to defend own interests.

I'm just afraid that "A.I" will dismiss all composers and arrangers, one thing is for sure, "A.I" is already capable of writing lyrics based on what people want to hear and what sells the most.
But, "A.I" will never be able to continue the evolution of music, listen to what has been done since the middle ages, baroque, classical period, romanticism, modernism, jazz, bossa nova, montuno, mambo and rumba, blues to rock, funk, pop, heavy metal, arabic music and the whole orient with its cultural richness. Well, I think music comes from the soul, not from machines, which will always be one of those tools that we love the most, but we are always looking for something new and better.
