I've just read...
'Before you set up licensing for DSP Builder, you must already have the Quartus II software installed on your computer
with licensing set up'
Will i be ok with just a web edition licence type?

Given that you need to request a DSP Builder License, you may as well request a full Quartus license at the same time. You can't use any of the high-end DSP devices (Stratix series) without a full license.

Also, the licence request asks for a my NIC address. I am running a virtual machine on my mac so which do i give? is this just for the download or is the licence tethered to the NIC address?

Use the VM NIC, or make a NIC up and change your VM to use that NIC. I have multiple versions of VirtualBox with older versions of Quartus installed. The only issue I have seen is that under a Windows 7 host, the USB-Blaster cannot be given to the VM. However, it works fine under a Centos 6.2 and WinXP host.
