How to deploy DisplayLink macOS software within a corporation
For a managed installation or upgrade it is recommended to use the package in the installer image. This is a metapackage that contains several sub-packages that install different components depending on the specific system and operating system. DisplayLink's bundle ID is com.displaylink.driver.DisplayLinkDriver and Team ID is 73YQY62QM3
To
uninstall the driver, it’s possible to use the uninstall script contained in
the uninstaller application. It’s best to always use the uninstaller
application included in the latest version of the installer image. The
script can be found inside the DisplayLink Software Uninstaller.app
package
in Contents/Resources/dluninstall
. It has to be run with administrative
privileges.
It is possible to avoid the reboot between uninstallation and install, provided the system is rebooted immediately after the installation of the updated software. This is similar to what happens during a standard upgrade.
From El Capitan onwards the built-in OS X Ethernet driver is used so it’s possible to uninstall the DisplayLink drivers without disabling the Ethernet port on the device.
