This may be a legitimate offer, or it may be an invitation
to a virus, worm or something similar. I would not recommend
downloading software from someone you do not know.
"M." is not familiar to me on this group. I know that not
everyone posts and many participate only by reading, but this
offer sounds very risky to me, and I would hate for any of my
bonsai friends to be exploited by a prank just because it has
bonsai in the label.
"M.", feel free to assuage my apprehension about your offer.

About viruses? I just downloaded the program and the accompanying .dat
file and my antivirus,Panda with an updated virus sig said it was
clean.

This webpage says that it is freeware. Why must I then register
freeware before 15 days so that it continues working?

It might be a great piece of software for bonsai but I have never
heard of registering freeware.

Um . . the word "free" means you don't PAY anything for it. It
has nothing at all to do with "registration."

Registration for "freeware" isn't unheard of. It is:

1. a way of telling how many people really want to use your
program. Download counting doesn't tell you that.
2. an opportunity for people to donate a tad here and there to
help support someone.
3. A way of controlling the haphazard distribution of the
software (and seeing some other person taking credit for it in
some other forum).
and
4. Totally up to the developer -- who has, after all, put more
work into it than YOU have.
