If you're on a Mac, you may be able to view licensing information in Font Book, and for Windows, open fonts settings in Control Panel. You can possibly try a font creation app, such as Glyphs or Fontforge to view license information.

There are others.

FYI, if you're getting font files from other designers, unless the the license allows for re-distribution, they are likely breaking the license of the fonts. Technically, you should have your own license of the font if you are going to work on the files further on your own hardware.

Finally, you shouldn't have to be jumping through hoops to figure out fonts. If they are bundling the fonts, you should have the license right there with the font file. If not, you should be able to ask the designer "what fonts are these?" directly.
