From your screenshot, it looks like you have a version installed from the Mac App Store as well as one you installed from the internet?

The Fusion360 is the one installed from the Mac App Store - you can uninstall it through the Mac App Store Application. The other version can be uninstalled through Launchpad using the icon with the black X.

Cheers,

So, I am wondering which one I should keep.

I purchased a license for the version that included CAM.

I think I purchased it through the Autodesk website store?

I think I want to keep the Autodesk Fusion 360 version, but what is the difference when it comes time to renew the license?

Thanks!

There is no difference between versions. What store you buy thru will handle the renewal but the app you run will not matter. Personally I keep the version from the web download (not the mac app store aka MAS) simply because mac appstore approvals can cause a lag in the app being released. Running the version from the web download will have you always up to date and live updating faster than MAS.

Hope that helps.
