We deploy DisplayLink via Jamf MDM but we want to automate the process and use installomator script so we always get the latest version but this requires a direct download URL.

Can DL set this up?

I can curl with
curl -L -o f1715_DisplayLink%20Manager%20Graphics%20Connectiv ity%201.4.pkg -d fileId=1715 -d accept_submit=Accept https://www.displaylink.com/downloads/file

But this is for specific release, need to curl or https url to latest production build.
The AWS link which you can grab has an expire key.

Hello Wozzy,

Are you using any packaging company (software distributor)?
I cannot really assist you with bypassing the EULA, as I don't wish to have to fight with my legal team. The link expires for that reason.
With software redistributors, the EULA can be asked once, as opposed to the website as there is no way of knowing a user is returning and has already agreed. We used to have that on displaylink.com, with a login, and we were asked to remove the section by IT users.

DisplayLink.com will be phased out. I recommend you start taking the drivers from https://Synaptics.com/DisplayLink as all content is already there.
I have been looking at getting a /xxxOSLatest vanity URLs so these always points to the latest driver page, but this has not been implemented yet. We are first trying to do the site migration without creating issues.

Regards,
Alban
