DisplayLink v5.2.1 USB Software Update for macOS Catalina & Mojave
The DisplayLink macOS USB Software page has v5.2.1 software for macOS Catalina and Mojave. (Software for older macOS versions are down the main page under "Legacy Drivers".)
Here's their note on macOS 10.15 Catalina and DisplayLink kernel extension:
"Information about macOS 10.15
Some users updating to 10.15 have found their DisplayLink devices have stopped working. 5.2 software is designed to run on Mac OS 10.15, but the OS can disable our kernel extension during the update. Please check the kernel extension is enabled and screen recording is also enabled, to ensure DisplayLink enabled devices continue to work when migrating to 10.15."
