Arma II free gone?

[EliteSkittle 59]

So I got a new desktop and decided I was done playing Dayz on my Old laggy laptop. I went to steam downloaded Arma II OA and noticed that the free version was no longer on Steam, I go to the Arma II website and all the mirrors to download the free version are gone. I tried to move it over from my laptop to my current computer and no luck, it get a bad serial key error.

Am I going to have to buy Arma II to play Dayz? I will if I have to but I would rather not shell out another twenty bucks just for Arma and getting combined ops doesn't seem worth it either if i already have OA.

Has any body else encoutered this problem or know of a fix to is?

Try making a backup through steam itself then copying it over to your new computer.

If that doesn't work, wait for standalone.

Armaholic mirror works fine for me and offers a 960MB zip file, haven't tried the others.

The mirrors are there but the key page is down and has been for several days.
