Vinyl plank flooring is available in two main installation types: adhesive-based (glue-down) and adhesive-free (floating). Whether you need adhesive for vinyl plank flooring depends on the type of vinyl plank and the installation method you choose: Adhesive-Based (Glue-Down) Vinyl Plank Flooring: Some vinyl plank flooring products require adhesive for installation. In this method, you apply a specific adhesive to the subfloor and then press the vinyl planks into the adhesive. Glue-down vinyl plank flooring is commonly used in commercial applications and situations where a more permanent installation is desired. It provides a firm and stable floor. Adhesive-Free (Floating) Vinyl Plank Flooring: Many modern vinyl plank flooring products are designed for adhesive-free, floating installation. This method involves interlocking the planks together without adhesive, and they "float" over the subfloor. Adhesive-free vinyl plank flooring is popular for residential installations because it is generally easier to install, allows for flexibility in design and layout, and is often suitable for do-it-yourself projects. The floating vinyl planks can be installed over a variety of subfloors, including existing flooring, as long as they are smooth, dry, and level. When choosing vinyl plank flooring, make sure to check the manufacturer's recommendations for the specific product you're using. The installation instructions will specify whether adhesive is required or if it's designed for a floating installation. Adhesive-free vinyl plank flooring has become more common and is often preferred for its ease of installation and versatility. If you opt for adhesive-free vinyl plank flooring, it's essential to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for proper acclimatization, subfloor preparation, and installation to ensure a successful and durable installation.

What is the weight of Vinyl Floor tiles per m2
This all depends on how "unlevel" it is. Assuming this humps or valleys are not larger then 1" in a 6' radius, than yes most definitely. You of course will still be able to feel this unlevel floor beneath you. The vinyl will only telegraph to the shape of the floor it sits on. If the level issues are greater than this, you still may be able to install vinyl, but it would be hard to say for sure without having a professional looking at it.
