Hm. This is maybe a little strong. It'd be valid for a machine to return 
an error here but still have the GHES functionality enabled via the 
generic call, but this message would still show up and potentially 
confuse the user. Can we keep a flag to check whether the generic method 
gave us control, and only give the error if both fail to enable it?
