I am having this exact same issue! I have never had H3 installed on my computer and I am running it as administrator and it's requiring a CD and won't let me play without it.

Please help, I just bought this game...
Usually running the game as administrator helps. If not, try this:
0. Backup your savegames (if any).
1. Uninstall the game completely.
2. Clean your registry from 'New World Computing' entries (usually removing 'HKLM\SOFTWARE\New World Computing' is enough).
3. Reinstall the game as administrator. Do not install the game in 'Program Files' folder! Use something like C:\Games\Heroes3\
4. Always run the game as administrator
Hope this helps.
Also, if you run the game using the HoMM3 HD launcher, it gives you an option to run the game using a No CD option.

For some reason, the Forum won't let me post the link or URL to the page. Just google "Homm3 HD" and it's the first result. The Google Sites page.

Hope this helps.
