Where do I find an article which was recently deleted?

A few weeks ago I bookmarked a great link to: Generating secure product keys: A comprehensive product key management library[^] Now, I get this message: We're sorry, but the article you are trying to view was deleted at 18 Oct 2011. Is this an error? Can I get access to the old article? Thanks, - Otto

Unfortunately if the article is deleted then it's no longer available.

I think this[^] is what you're looking for. Maybe it was deleted, because someone tried to take credit for work they didn't do themselves?

My number one dev tool? Google

@Chris Maunder Was the article deleted because it promoted a commercial tool? - Otto

I'd have to check with Sean, but I think yes.
