Study Technolgy - Does it still Exist

[windwalker14]

Have all DLC's and they are enabled.
Have Completed Espionage Tech
wiki states I need tech 9
Am Level 10 Dip techs
Overall tech level 10 10 12
Ottomans (rival) is 12 12 12 - are the ones I want to study
The option to study technology never shows up.

wiki does not list any other criteria than what I have.
Does anybody know what I am missing?

just having a diplomat building spy network is enough, the closer to 100 the closer you are to your max discount

As the guy above said, you just need a spy network active and you are granted the bonus automatically. You can see bonuses and penalties by hovering over the cost to tech up to the next level.
