LONDON--Uber Technologies Inc. won an appeal over the revocation of its operating license here, ending for now a years-long tussle between the ride-hailing company and regulators in one of its biggest global markets.

London regulators refused to renew Uber's license to operate in November after finding widespread instances of unauthorized drivers using the ride-hailing app to pick up customers. Uber said at the time that it had fixed the problem, but London officials said they wanted to make sure there weren't other software issues. Uber appealed the decision, and was allowed to keep its drivers on London streets amid the appeal process.

On Monday, a London judge found Uber is now "fit and proper" to hold a license, according to a spokesman for Transport for London, the city's main transportation regulator. It didn't disclose how long Uber's new license would extend.
