I'd like to have a chat with the person that came up with the idea of perimeter glue and free floating vinyl. They are both BAD ideas! I've never done either but I've fixed floors that others have installed using those methods.
It's usually preferable to remove the existing vinyl and underlayment and start over, but you can lay vinyl over vinyl. Trowel embossing leveler over the existing vinyl. IMO the premixed embossing leveler is better than the stuff you have to mix. The glue the new vinyl down. Glue as in full spread not perimeter glue!
BTW I'm a remodeling contractor and do many vinyl floors a year.
My advice is to pull the staples and take the floor up. Trowel on some embossing leveler, then re-install the floor with glue.
The glue for some types of flooring (such as fiberglass backed) can get pretty pricey, but it's worth it to do things right the first time so you don't have to fix it later.
