So then it would seem that the newer Mooney's with non-WAAS G1000 without an upgrade path to NXi are also on borrowed time.  Every other aircraft manufacturer that installed the G1000 over the past 20 years, as far as I know, now have an upgrade path to NXi.

American General AAG5 Tigers with G1000s and Columbia 400s with G1000s never even made it to WAAS upgrades, let alone NXi upgrades/

I’ve always been able to get a new PC to run old s/w like that using compatibility mode. You can experiment with different setting but going straight to XP service pack 3 should work perfectly for this.

I use a current windows 11 computer to cut my cards. Have not had an issue until i got a spare nav card as i wanted to be able to cut a card for the next database cycle and thus just swap the cards when i was out at the plane the next time. I then tried to cut the other card as a spare as a backup. But garmin database manager will fail when you try that. You can swap cards every new cycle but can not have 2 cards on same cycle so as to keep people from sharing a subscription as the old gns units do not check for a subscription code where as the newer units do.

You are correct.  Both Tiger Aircraft LLC and Columbia Aircraft went bankrupt in 2007.

As far as I can tell Tiger Aircraft only built four (4) AG5B with G1000 during 2005-2006 before ceasing production.

An unknow number of Columbia 400's were built in 2006-2007 with the G1000 before bankruptcy.  Some show up for sale with WAAS upgrade.  After Cessna acquired the design & assets, the 2008 "Cessna 400" models came standard with G1000 WAAS.
