Why would you use a proprietary adapter for this which even requires proprietary software (DisplayLink)?
The TB16 has a HDMI, a DisplayPort and a Mini DisplayPort output. All of these can be connected to a DVI-D monitor with a simple passive adapter or adapter cable, i.e. HDMI/DisplayPort/Mini DisplayPort plug on one side, DVI-D plug on the other side.
See for example:

Such adapters are very cheap and will give you a native digital connection without having to rely on a DisplayLink adapter.
So, as long as you still have a HDMI/DisplayPort/Mini DisplayPort output free on the TB16, there's no need for DisplayLink.
