I installed my CS3 Design Standard to a new HP Desktop Envy AIO PC. The old one crashed.
It keeps asking for a redemption code. It did not have redemption codes when I purchasedd it.
How do I get around it, because you indicated I don't need one.

I've branched this to a new discussion for you as the other one is unrelated to CS3.
CS1, CS2 and CS3 are dead & gone. The activation servers were removed from service years ago. Even if you have an installer with a compatible valid serial number, it's impossible to activate the software.

The CS3 and earlier activation server has been removed from service
-So even if you have a disc or saved download, CS3 and earlier are completely dead
