[jagostinho74]

Hello,

getting 

<property# Username on Application>

instead of the actual username while using 

from pyrevit import ApplicationServices

username = ApplicationServices.Application.Username

print username

any ideas?

Thank you

You need to use the UIApplication.

UIApplication uiapp = commandData.Application;
string user = uiapp.Application.Username;

You an use the ApplicationServices method to make sure a user is logged in.

UIApplication uiapp = commandData.Application;
if (Autodesk.Revit.ApplicationServices.Application.IsLoggedIn)
{
string user = uiapp.Application.Username;
}

Getting this error.

NameError: name 'commandData' is not defined

That was showing an example of how to get the UIApplication from an ExternalCommand. Just make sure you have the UIApplication and you can get the information you are looking for.
