...and launch the tool "VCI4floadGUI.exe":

This tool shows you the current firmware version, in this example the USB-to-CAN V2 professional has V1.08.04 loaded.

Additionally you can check the version of the running firmware in the device manager:
(Device Manager | USB-to-CAN V2 | Properties | Hardware Info | firmware (running) | version)
