You can, but it's not a good idea. Click-lock flooring is supposed to 'float' on a thin foam pad and thus be able to move as it contracts and expands. When you glue it down it can't move and you may soon find it separating in the most used parts.

Can you glue down brazilian oak flooring?
The ability to glue down a floor is not dependent on the species of wood. Rather, it depends on the construction of the wood and the condition of the subfloor. If your wood is solid, you should nail it and not glue it, regardless of species. If it's engineered hardwood and if your surface is clear smooth then you can glue it. Bamboo is the one exception. Technically, the solid bamboo is considered solid, but it is constructed like an engineered product, so can glue solid bamboo down (you can also nail it into plywood, as well as float it). Also, you usually see in the box, the manufacturer's recommendation on how you can install, if it is a prefinished product.
