Hello all,

At my actual job, some colleagues bought Arista switchs very recently. They asked the question about 3rd party 
transceivers and their SE told them exactly what has been said before :

"we do accept 3rd party transceivers but we don't support them. If you still want to use them willingly, you'll have 
to sign a discharge paper and we'll provide you with a key to activate on your equipement".

That's Arista's official policy regarding 3rd party transceivers.

I am fine with that.

All other vendors, explicitly or silently, adopt the same approach.
