Im just learning what the Global Assembly Cache is, and when I heard about it, I assumed that each .NET computers has its own Global Assembly Cache.

Or, is there one Global Assembly Cache on an entire network?

The reason I ask is because our new .NET architecture will have DLLs for different tasks that get updated as time goes on. The plan was to check each users version of the DLL, and if it wasnt the latest, we would update it on their local machine.

But if the GAC handles this all automatically, like an assembly server of sorts, that helps alot.

Thanks for any advice,
