I'm hoping someone remembers how to do things in the old world of X1 and Melodyne Assistant.
 
The good news is that I resolved the crashing problem (it seems).
 
Bad news, I have never successfully bounced a Melodyne track which I need to do to avoid lots of Melodyne instances burning up my CPU.  There will be 20-24 voices on this track.
 

1. I inserted Meldodyne in the FX bin.  (Maybe I should try Region later, but that's where it is now.) The edits are done.
2. I tried freezing the track and dragging the audio to a new track like I do with VIs.  That did not work.
3. I tried Bounce to Clip and I got the old audio without the Melodyne corrections.

All my old projects have Melodyne in them because I could never get the bounce to work.
 
Advice?
 

im not sure because I use Region FX to this but possibly make your fixes then bounce it down Vs bouncing to clips.
 

Chuckebaby, You are pretty cool about answering stuff.  Thanks.
 
I actually tried bounce to track which did not work, so maybe I will try Bounce to Clip.
 
This is the vocal first track within the project, so on the other tracks I will try the Region thing.  Worst case, I can do this track's edits again as a region Fx.  I am doing a bunch of voices to simulate a congregation in a church, so, fortunately, I am just have to edit the final chorus and not the whole song.

OK, Don't know why, but this time bounce to track worked fine.  The only thing I did different was to select a mono output, but I doubt that's the reason it worked.  ?
 
Anyway, I am good, but with a follow up question.  Instead of deleting the track with Melodyne on it, can I archive it in case I want to make changes later?  Will archiving make Sonar think there is no active Melodyne instance (from a CPU/memory perspective)?
 
Muchas gracias.
 

you should have a back up in your Audio folder (in the projects folder).
However you might want to verify that by eye just in case. I say just incase because I happen to believe there is never a fail safe back up plan . you know what I mean.
