# How to Remove GAT Shield Extension

 

## What happens when your GAT Shield license expires?

GAT Shield consists of two components: the **GAT Shield Console** and the **GAT Shield extension**.

If your trial license expires or your paid license is discontinued, we recommend removing the GAT Shield extension from all locations where it was deployed.

### Remove the Extension

Log in to **Google Admin Console**as a Super Admin.

Navigate to **Devices > Chrome > Apps & Extensions > Users & browsers > Overview**

In the Overview tab - search for ID - enter a few letters of the Shield ID and Apply.

The result will show all the organization units where this extension is installed.

You can systematically remove it from each Org Unit if you have identified where the GAT Shield extension is deployed. 

Clicking on the extension ID (2) - will display the extension details.

Click on the "**bin icon**" (3) - it will remove the app from the current org. unit. 

NOTE: This must be done on each of the Org. Units where Shield is deployed, as it could be individually deployed to OUs and not inherited from the top OU etc.
