How odd.
Hypothesis: You mis-typed the serial number when installing Fusion, but you got it correct when installing Resolve. When Resolve starts, it queries the dongle for a license, verifies it against its serial number, and starts up. You then start Fusion, which sees the license that Resolve already has (and is authorizing Fusion in that context), and it starts. If you start Fusion on its own, it asks for a license, sees the serial doesn't match the dongle, and does not authorize.
I don't know how one might actually test that hypothesis outside of BMD's own facilities, but if it's true, then your problem might be solved by uninstalling and reinstalling Fusion 9.
