Just go to Device manager, find the fingerprint reader, show driver details. On my computer it's AuthenTec from 2009.

That won't show the management software though, will it? It's using UPEK drivers because it's a UPEK reader in my case (Thinkpad R61), but the actual fingerprint enrollment and login management is handled through the ThinkVantage software.
