It'll be 10 or 20mm solid oak parquet flooring with tongue and groove and unfinished.
There's glue residue on the surface of the floor but that only sits a mm or two proud and I wouldn't have thought would cause an issue but the floor as a whole has some raised areas.
Edit: Also, I'd prefer not to glue down but I guess this would only be ok on a totally flat surface.

I’ve never fitted it but imagine you’ll be gluing it if it’s natural wood on concrete.
The problem is that if you throw one bit of T&G out, it passes along the rest of floor.
How big are the planks? If they’re long enough, you could put battens down. That way you’re screwing it onto wood which would give you some adjustment up and down.

I’m guessing you mean modern engineered herringbone?
It needs to be very flat. I’ve had a couple of frustrating experiences of struggling to get it tight on imperfect floors. Even then you’ll struggle to eliminate creaking. Because the panels are locked together, movement in one bit of the floor is transmitted. I’d recommend finding a product that can be glued down.
