GAC stands for Global Assembly Cache. GAC is the place where shared assemblies get stored in a system.In order to install an assembly to GAC one needs to use the command : gacutil.exe i Assembly name . However before doing that we need to make sure that the assembly is a strong named assembly.To sign an assembly with a strong name, you must have a public/private key pair. This public and private cryptographic key pair is used during compilation to create a strong-named assembly.We need to use: sn –k
For dot net version 2.0 & 3.5 the location for GAC is : C:\Windows\assembly
For dotnet version 4.0 and above the location for GAC is :C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\assembly

It is located in %windir%\assembly (for example, C:\WINDOWS\assembly) and it is a shared repository of libraries.

GAC stands for Global Assembly Cache.
The global assembly cache stores assemblies specifically designed to be shared by several applications on the computer.
Location of GAC depends upon the version of .NET framework you are using.
C:\Windows\Assembly for.NET framework 2.0 or 3.5 i.e. before 4.0 C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\assembly - For .NET framework 4.0 & above
