What would be the use case? If you don't have access to files, databases or admin interface there shouldn't be any reason for you to know what version the CMS is. Since this information could potentially be very useful for people with bad intentions, so this is and shouldn't be easy to find out just by looking at a public url.

You can typically look within the database and file system to get this information without even logging into the site.

Check out this post and this post for more details.

Also, with some experience you can check the login page and get an idea if they are on a new or old version. If a site is using the free license, you can view the source code and see something like this in the header:

<meta name="generator" content="Kentico 8.0 (build 8.0.0) FREE LICENSE" />

Simple answer is you can't. Are you not able to talk with the client to get you access? Or tell the client how to log in and get you the version info you need? If you can't do any of the above then it sounds like something you're doing isn't quite right.
