To update this thread it looks like Vivado WebPack, starting with version 2015.4, now includes the Debug Cores at no additional cost:

If you generated your WebPack license prior to the Vivado 2015.4 release you will just need to regenerate your license as documented in Chapter 5 of UG973:

No, it looks like the Lab Edition can only be used to debug a bitstream that has already had the debug cores (ILA, VIO, etc.) inserted or instantiated. The inputs to the Lab Edition are the bitstream and probe files. You can take a look at UG908 and the tutorial video below for details.

With the new 2015.1 Lab Edition, you get the debugging for free. Could that, combined with 2015.1 Web Pack do the same thing?
