Which client platform is this for?
Hungary is a communist country and they always charged extra for the stuff behind the Iron Curtain 
GNS boxes are fine. Updates are not coded, so it will work on every GNS box.
What stops people just duplicating the database cards and sharing the costs?
The flashing tool only allows you to flash one card per cycle. The GNS cards are proprietary hardware so no easy way to copy them.
What works with the GNS is do a “coitus interruptus” while it verifies the data written. This does not eat up the cycle so you can do it again.

Is the unique key on the flash card in both the GNS and GTN case i.e. could you pass them on to somebody else? That BTW cannot be illegal, IMHO.

I believe that well known hack (pressing Cancel when it comes to verify the programming) worked only with some old GNS programmer and they blocked it a long time ago.

I’ve heard it’s still working!

On the GTN it is definitely a standard FAT filesystem and card reader with “non-hacked” firmware
The database must be somehow “keyed” to the unit – even if the cartridge is freely readable/writeable.
Hello to everybody!
There is a good proposal to reduce navdata update cost:
GTN 6XX/7XX database, coverage CENTRAL EUROPE of the price of the Jeppesen 2017 catalogue with a discount of 10%.
Our customer’s airplane have a “heavy maintenance visit” (like D check) so it won’t fly this and next months.
I have annual subscription for GTN NavData update via Jeppesen Distribution Manager which is now simply burn away.
You may download Jeppesen 2017 catalogue from
http://ww1.jeppesen.com/documents/aviation/pdfs/jeppesen-catalog-emea.pdf
Please, do not hesitate to contact me if you need further information or would like to discuss any details.
Are you offering to temporarily transfer this database subscription to someone else, and then get it back again after 2 months?
