I'm presuming the OP is reffering to the "Availability Tool V 1.64" that can be used to look at flight and seating availabity by different buckets across different carriers including awards that do not show up on other sites.

I may start to cry if this is the end of the "Smiley" availability tool. It has been so nice to be able to check award availability without having to call the airlines' partner award desks.
If you're reading this, Mr. Smiley, PLEASE, OH PLEASE don't pull the plug!

I posted this same question several days ago. A "moderator" named "flipside" closed the thread instantly, and gave a useless link to an unrelated topic. There are now no less than 4 such threads about the much appreciated Availabilty Tool 1.64 in various FT forums.

Regardless, it would seem that the datasource has been cutoff, and this useful tool has gone the way of Expedia Fare Listings, ITN.net, and Galileo.
My somewhat esoteric tip to this community is AMEX Platinum Travel:

Availabilty Tool : Matthias' Reply
Just got Matthias' reply to my email . UNFORTUNATELY, VERY UNFORTUNATELY,THIS IS THE END OF THE FABULOUS AVAILABILITY TOOL Hiscompany decided to stop the access, even limited, and there is not much he can do about it. Other reasons, internal to the company obliged him to stop the service, not at his own will...
Matthias recommends to try KVS ( would appreciate any help to access this site ) .
A very special thank you to Matthias, these have been fantastic months, his tool has helped me saved hundreds of euros being able to pick the rightrcombination of flights. Matthias, we hope to hear from you soon one of these days...

"The Platinum Travel International Airline program is not available online.
Reservations can be made by contacting PTSOnline at 800-648-4423."

Anyhow I recall from a previous thread I once bookmarked this page:

Quite a helpful ITN replacement...
